NASHVILLE, TN (August 19, 2013) - Littler Mendelson, P.C. (Littler), the world’s largest employment and labor law firm representing management, continues the expansion of its Nashville office with the addition of Rodrick D. Holmes from Ogletree Deakins. Holmes, who joins as an associate, is the latest addition to the office following two lateral attorney hires earlier this year.

With a practice focused on employment litigation, Holmes represents companies on a broad range of labor and employment issues. He has experience litigating claims on the federal, state and local levels on such issues as discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge, restrictive covenant violations, Title VII, wage and hour violations, and other aspects of the employee-employer relationship. In addition to his employment litigation experience, Holmes’ background includes general litigation defense work.
Holmes is active in a number of professional organizations, including, the American Bar Association, National Bar Association and the Ben F. Jones Chapter of the National Bar Association.
