TAMPA, FL – Shumaker grows their Employment Law practice group with the addition of Associate Hannah M. Compton, who is focused on advocacy and dedication in representing client interests.

Hannah focuses on the defense of employment discrimination and wage cases, drafting employee handbooks and employment agreements, and conducting workplace trainings and workplace investigations for employers.

While in law school, Hannah was actively involved in Marquette University’s Sports Law Program as an editor for the Marquette Sports Law Review and she was a participant in two national competitions: the Mardi Gras Moot Court Invitational in New Orleans, Louisiana and the National Sports Law Negotiation Competition in San Diego, California. In addition, Hannah escaped the cold weather and interned for a summer at a Sarasota, Florida law firm. Upon graduation from law school, Hannah worked for a mid-size firm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, practicing commercial litigation and employment law. Ultimately, she wanted to transition to warmer weather to fulfill her lifelong dream of living in Florida and being close to the aunt and uncle who inspired her career and exclusively practicing employment law.

Prior to law school, Hannah attended Purdue University, where she majored in Corporate Communications, honing her talents of connecting well with others. She was also involved in her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, where she took on multiple leadership roles and found a passion for philanthropic work, through Zeta’s supporting of breast cancer research, education, and awareness.
