She was later an associate at Alston & Bird, Atlanta, and served as assistant general counsel for Envoy Corp., now a subsidiary of WebMD Corp.

Coming into the corporate and securities practice last January was Erika L. Gilmore, who was previously an associate with Lane & Waterman in Davenport, Ia. Jamie V. Wade, who graduated from Stanford Law School in 2004, joined the same practice in July.

Michael J. Holley, a 2005 graduate of University of Mississippi School of Law who received his L.L.M. from New York University School of Law this year, joined the tax practice area in June.

All six are working from the firm's downtown Nashville office.
