ATLANTA – Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP is pleased to welcome Doug Spear back to the firm. After three years as the Chief Legal Officer at Greenlight Financial Technology, Inc., Spear returns to the firm in a leadership capacity, co-chairing the Corporate practice group alongside Atlanta partner, Brad Denson.
“We are excited to welcome Doug back to the firm,” said Jim Lehman, Nelson Mullins Managing Partner. “Doug brings clients a unique combination of legal knowledge and business acumen that is critically important in the increasingly complex business environment. We are also excited about Doug’s leadership of our Corporate group as we continue to expand the breadth and depth of our geographical reach and expertise.”
After building a robust startup and venture capital practice in the Southeast early in his career, Spear joined Nelson Mullins in 2010.
