Marc Harwell, a trial lawyer, mediator and founding member of Harwell & Hurst in Chattanooga has been elected president of the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel (FDCC), an invitation-only organization of leading civil defense litigators, corporate counsel and insurance industry executives founded in 1936. “I am humbled to join a long line of dedicated leaders and eager to work with my fellow members to strengthen our profession, uphold the highest standards of advocacy, and continue the FDCC’s tradition of service to its members and the communities we serve," Harwell said. Harwell is only the fifth president from Tennessee in the FDCC’s nearly 90-year history, WJHL reports. His one-year term began Aug. 1.
