Littler Adds Litigator Michael Hornback in Lexington
Michael D. Hornback has joined Littler as special counsel in the firm’s Lexington, Kentucky, office. He was previously an attorney with Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs LLP.
“Michael brings nearly two decades of impressive litigation experience, including representation of employers with local, national and international operations,” said Kevin Griffith, Lexington Office Managing Shareholder. “He has a strong track record and reputation in Kentucky and Tennessee and will make a great addition to our Lexington office.”
In a release, the firm said Hornback’s practice focuses on representing clients in all aspects of litigation before federal and state courts. He defends companies in a wide-range of employment matters, including discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims, and issues involving breaches of non-compete agreements and other contracts. Hornback also regularly represents clients before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
“I am excited to work with the talented team in the Lexington office and with my new colleagues across the firm’s global platform,” Hornback said. “As employers continue to confront new and existing risks in managing their workforces, I look forward to drawing on Littler’s depth and breadth of knowledge to serve my clients in Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as the many regions in which they operate.”
Hornback received his J.D. from the University of Arkansas School of Law and his B.A. from Eastern Kentucky University. He is a member of the Fayette County Bar Association’s board of directors and a member of the Rotary Club of Lexington.
