Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III announced today that Paul C. Ney Jr. will join his office as chief deputy. In this role, Ney will coordinate and supervise the substantive legal work of all five sections of the office. “I am delighted Paul will be joining our leadership team,” Slatery said. “His extensive legal and management experience in both the public and private sectors will add immediate value.” Ney has practiced law for 31 years, most recently with Patterson Intellectual Property Law in Nashville. He previously worked as director of the Nashville Mayor’s Office of Economic and Community Development, deputy general counsel for the U.S. Department of Defense and acting general counsel of the Department of the Navy. Ney also has served the TBA as treasurer and general counsel. He succeeds Lucy Honey Haynes, who retired after 34 years of service.
