Taylor English Continues to Expand, Adds Five Attorneys
Atlanta – June 28, 2010 – Taylor English Duma LLP has added five attorneys to further round out its practice groups. The new attorneys have experience in real estate, sports administration, complex litigation, employment and bankruptcy law:
-
Kristi Dosh represents lenders, developers and other parties on publicly-funded community-development transactions—particularly low-income housing tax credits. She also handles commercial real-estate transactions.
In addition, Dosh has a unique focus on sports administration law and is author of the upcoming book, “Balancing Baseball: How Collective Bargaining Has Changed the Major Leagues”, published by McFarland & Co. Dosh is also a regular contributor to Forbes.com’s “SportsMoney” blog. She previously served as a real estate associate at Nelson, Mullins, Riley & Scarborough and Morris, Manning & Martin LLP.

Her pro bono work includes drafting proposed adoption regulations for an undeveloped country as well as other nonprofit projects. Prior to joining Taylor English, Mark served as an associate at Clifford Chance US LLP in Washington, D.C.

Thomas has successfully defended employers in Equal Pay Act cases and collective actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act. She previously practiced employment law with Dow Lohnes PLLC and McGuire Woods LLP

Weber also has extensive experience litigating trade secret cases and related business disputes involving companies. Weber is a former partner at Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele LLP
-
Lauren H. Zeldin focuses on discrimination, civil rights, wage litigation and other issues facing the workplace. Zeldin, who regularly advises employers on the Fair Labor Standards Act and harassment investigations, also conducts internal wage and hour audits. A recognized leader in employment law, Zeldin is a contributor to the 2007 fourth-edition-book, “Employment Discrimination Law.” She previously practiced employment law with Ashe, Rafuse & Hill, LLP
Taylor English partner Joe English said the addition of these attorneys builds on the firm’s diverse and still-growing offerings.

Over the past few years, Taylor English has grown steadily.
The firm was just named the fastest-growing law firm in metro Atlanta by Atlanta Business Chronicle.
