TIA announced that it has partnered with labor and employment law firm Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart to provide all TIA members with a new legal member services benefit.
Former Michelin North America chairman and CEO Jim Micali is a member of the law firm.
As part of the program, TIA members can contact Ogletree Deakins’ attorneys for a free one-hour initial consultation. TIA members will be able to e-mail their questions to an Ogletree Deakins attorney via an exclusive e-mail address, or call toll-free call to reach an Ogletree Deakins attorney for assistance.
After the initial consultation, Ogletree Deakins will provide TIA members with representation in labor and employment law, immigration or environmental law, at attractive rates.
TIA Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield said, “We chose Ogletree Deakins because of their deep knowledge of the law, the firm’s national footprint and the substantial experience representing the tire industry dealers and manufacturers. We are particularly pleased that Jim Micali, former chairman of Michelin North America, has joined Ogletree Deakins, and will be able to provide his tremendous experience in the tire industry to our members.”
