Law Firm Overview

W imberly Lawson Seale Wright & Daves, PLLC is a full service labor, employment, workers' compensation, immigration, governmental and commercial law firm representing management exclusively. The Firm has offices in Knoxville, Morristown, Cookeville and Nashville, Tennessee­ and maintains its affiliation with the Wimberly Lawson firms in Atlanta, Ga., and Greenville, S.C .  Wimberly Lawson Seale Wright & Daves is a successor to the labor law practice of the former firm of Mitchell, Clarke, Pate, Anderson & Wimberly which was founded in 1948 and known for its representation of the Mitchell family and its "Gone with the Wind" movie interests.   

While we remain successful in representing our clients' interests in union organizing campaigns, all NLRB matters, employment law litigation matters and immigration/ nationality issues, our firm also retains more traditional legal roles.  Our sophisticated litigation practice ranges from proceedings before state and federal governmental agencies to trials at all levels of state and federal courts.  Our attorneys have successfully defended against all types of employment discrimination and wrongful discharge claims.  Affiliated firms have successfully defended class action, trade secrets, tax, pension and benefits lawsuits.

Wimberly Lawson strives to deliver the highest quality legal service in a timely, cost-effective and ethical manner.  Our monthly Labor Relations Bulletin keeps clients abreast of labor and employment issues as they occur.  We also present an annual update conference that summarizes the past year's developments while anticipating future legal trends.  Our attorneys maintain their competitive edge by writing articles, attending legal education courses and preparing and delivering seminars sponsored by many national, regional and local organizations.
