Bob Mendes, Member of the Firm in the Health Care & Life Sciences practice, in the firm’s Nashville office, was featured in Axios in “Mendes Moves From Metro to Law Firm,” by Nate Rau.

Following is an excerpt:

Bob Mendes, the former Metro Council member and aide to Mayor Freddie O'Connell, joined the Epstein Becker Green law firm.

Why it matters: Mendes has been one of the most consequential people in Metro politics over the last decade plus.

Zoom out: Prior to his time in local government, Mendes worked as an attorney focusing on commercial transactions, corporate law and regulatory compliance. …

Mendes will return to working on those areas as well as economic development cases for Epstein Becker Green.

Flashback: Mendes endorsed O'Connell in the 2023 mayor's race and then took a job as the city's chief development officer.

The East Bank development plan and the Rivergate Mall revitalization were among his top ECD accomplishments before resigning his post last year.
