7/8/2005

The Memphis-based law firm of Harris Shelton Hanover Walsh, PLLC today announced the opening of their Oxford, Mississippi, office. The firm, which is ranked as the 5th largest law firm in Memphis, is the first of the larger Memphis firms to open an office in the Oxford area

The new office is the result of attorney Stephan Land McDavid, who had been practicing as McDavid & Associates, PC, coming with the firm. In addition to McDavid, Milton “Dee” Hobbs, Jr. will also be joining the firm.

“We currently have an active practice in North Mississippi and have worked with Steve for nearly ten years,” stated John H. Harris, Managing Partner of Harris Shelton. “With the growing economic opportunities in North Mississippi, we believed it was time to expand our relationship with Steve and establish our presence in Oxford.”

Prior to the opening of the Oxford office, Harris Shelton attorney Neal Graham commuted between Memphis and Oxford providing legal services to clients and building the firm’s visibility in the region. Graham served as the first Chairman of the North Mississippi Enterprise Initiative, Inc. and helped the organization establish business incubator facilities in Oxford, Batesville and Grenada.

“The key to a successful practice in North Mississippi is good contacts and an in-depth knowledge of the economic opportunities of the region,” stated McDavid. “The contacts that Neal, Dee and I have developed over the years should enable Harris Shelton to be very competitive in this market.”

With the opening of the Oxford office, Harris Shelton will have a total of 45 attorneys with four attorneys licensed to practice law in Mississippi and two licensed to practice in Alabama. In addition to Oxford, the firm maintains offices in downtown Memphis and East Memphis.
