TAMPA, FL – Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP expands its Labor & Employment and Litigation practice groups with the addition of Associate Haley D. Kole, who is focused on advocacy and commitment in representing client interests. 

“We are excited that Haley accepted Shumaker’s offer and is joining its Labor and Employment Group,” said Labor & Employment Practice Co-Administrator Jan Pietruszka. “Haley was an excellent summer clerk and has already hit the ground running in assisting clients with their employment law needs. Haley is a great addition to our team.”

Along with her dedication to her law practice, before law school, Haley was a full scholarship student-athlete at a Power 5 conference.

While in law school, Haley spent her time working as a summer judicial extern for Judge M.K.
