Goodman McGuffey Lindsey & Johnson, LLP announces that one of its founding partners, Edward Lindsey, is leaving his litigation practice at the firm to pursue lobbying and public policy work. Edward previously served in the Georgia House of Representatives for 10 years, the last four of which he served as the Majority Whip before leaving his seat in 2014.
Managing partner Wade McGuffey said, “We regret losing Edward but are happy that he is pursuing his passion in working on public policy which he developed in his decade of service in the General Assembly.”
Edward Lindsey commented, “While I am excited about my career change, I am saddened to leave this great litigation firm. From its beginning in 1990, the firm has now grown to eight offices in four states from Sarasota to Raleigh and has become a regional leader in representing and defending companies, small businesses, professionals, insurance carriers, and employers in a wide variety of litigation matters. I am proud of what the firm has accomplished and look forward to continuing the lifelong friendships with those at the firm. I am confident that the foundation we built over the last 25 years will support the continued success of the firm.”
With the departure of Edward Lindsey, the firm will change its name to Goodman McGuffey LLP effective July 15, 2016.
Goodman McGuffey LLP, founded in 1990, is a mid-sized civil and commercial litigation firm with offices in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia; Orlando and Sarasota, Florida; Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; and Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina.
