Full-service business law firm Buchalter has expanded its Nashville team by adding 10 attorneys as well as other professional staff members to its Music, Entertainment, Real Estate and Litigation Practices departments.

Shareholders Jay Bowen, Lauren Kilgore and Lauren Spahn come to the firm from Shackelford, Bowen, McKinley & Norton LLP alongside Rebekah Shulman, Jim Zumwalt, Jacob Clabo, Aaron Steinberg and John Baxter. Shareholder Jeffrey Melcher moves to Buchalter from Dickinson Wright and Shareholder Bradley Segal comes from Maynard Nexsen PC.

They all join Real Estate Shareholders Josiah Reid, Jeff Farano, Lucas Davidson and Kaitlin White in the Music City office.

Buchalter was founded 91 years ago in Los Angeles, and now has nearly 500 lawyers across 12 offices with 17 practice areas and a range of legal specialties. Buchalter aims to serve clients through all life cycles of business, while offering over 35 industry specialties that cater to clients in diverse sectors.

Its Nashville office was established in 2022 by Office Managing Shareholder Jason Brooks, and moved to new space at 1 Music Circle South. With the latest additions, the firm hopes to provide clients with deeper expertise in the real estate sector as well as thorough intellectual property capabilities, including litigation, especially in the Nashville music and entertainment industry.

“Our decision to expand in Nashville aligns with our growth strategy to better serve our clients and grow our capabilities in thriving business communities,” says Adam Bass, Buchalter President & CEO. “Nashville represents a vibrant and dynamic legal market, and there is no better group to join this office. Jay, Lauren, Jeffrey, Bradley and Lauren, along with their teams bring a wealth of experience, expertise and dedication to our firm. Together, we are poised to make a significant impact in Nashville’s legal landscape and beyond.”
