Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP is excited to expand the firm’s Tennessee government relations practice with the addition of partner Tom Lee. Lee is a knowledgeable attorney who has specialized in the areas of government relations and lobbying for over 25 years. Lee arrives from CivicPoint LLC.

“We are elated to have Tom join the firm and expand our government relations practice to Tennessee,” said Washington Office Managing Principal and Federal and State Policy Leader Chris Cushing. “As an Emmy-award winning reporter, a community leader, and with deep experience in government relations, Tom’s a great fit to our practice. He is an excellent addition to the Nashville office and our policy team.”

Lee brings an entrepreneurial approach to the firm as he was founding principal of a successful government relations firm and a co-founder of two public charter schools. Lee’s goal is to make change and his ambition has guided him through a successful career. For 11 years running his work in government relations has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America.

Lee’s ties to the state of Tennessee stem back further than 40 years as he’s served in several different positions in the fields of media, politics, and law. His proficiency and enthusiasm are truly a valuable addition to the firm.
