CONSTANGY, BROOKS & SMITH EXPANDS TO MACON, GEORGIA

We are pleased to announce that all eight attorneys formerly with the Macon office of the law firm of Haynsworth, Baldwin, Johnson & Greaves have left that firm to join Constangy, Brooks & Smith.  Leading our new Macon office will be Mel Haas, who with fellow members Ed Ennis and Jeff Thompson will add a total of 68 years of labor and employment law experience to our firm.  The opening of our Macon office marks another step in the expansion of our firm, which now has seven offices and 70 lawyers dedicated to serving our clients. 

Upon joining our firm, Mel Haas stated in our firm media release, "Our eight attorneys feel the move is beneficial for clients and our practice.  We share Constangy, Brooks & Smith's commitment to helping clients prevent work place problems before costly risks arise.  Clients depend on us to be strategic business partners and not just practitioners who know the law." 

Our firm is one of the oldest labor and employment law firms in the nation, and in the year 2000 we will enter our 54th year of representing clients in labor and employment law matters.  Our new Macon office brings with it attorneys who share our efforts to bring about an alliance with our clients through counseling on "best practices" which are in keeping with their risk management philosophies and business objectives.  The firm welcomes the following attorneys in Macon: 

W. Melvin Haas, III
Edgar W. Ennis, Jr.
Jeffery L. Thompson
Frank L. Butler, III
William M. Clifton, III 
Kristie B. Smith
