Lang Wiseman, former deputy governor and chief counsel to Governor Bill Lee, has joined the Memphis law firm of Baker Donelson as a shareholder in the firm’s advocacy department. He will work out of the firm’s Memphis and Nashville offices and focus on business, financial services and construction, the Memphis Business Journal reports. Prior to his appointment to Lee’s cabinet in 2019, Wiseman was a founding partner at the Memphis law firm of Wiseman Bray PLLC, worked at Baker Donelson, worked for U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson in Washington, D.C., and clerked for Harry Wellford on the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Wiseman announced his intention to step down from the governor’s office last August.
