Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani is pleased to announce the opening of its new permanent office in Jackson, Mississippi. This move reflects the firm’s continued growth across the South and the increasing demand for comprehensive, locally rooted, and nationally connected legal services throughout the region.
The Jackson office marks GRSM’s transition from a virtual presence to a dedicated, physical space in the heart of Mississippi’s capital. Since opening in 2019 with one attorney physically based in the state, the office has grown to seven attorneys who now call Jackson home. The move accommodates this expansion and establishes a permanent base of operations for serving clients across Mississippi and the broader Southern corridor.
“Our growth in Jackson is a natural extension of the firm’s momentum across the South,” said Hiawatha Northington II, Managing Partner of GRSM’s Jackson office. “We’ve built a strong team here with deep roots in Mississippi’s legal and business communities. Establishing a permanent office in the Capital City not only reflects our commitment to this region, but also enhances our ability to deliver responsive, high-caliber legal service to clients statewide and nationwide.”
Northington, who has practiced law in Mississippi for nearly three decades, brings extensive trial experience in professional liability, labor and employment, and insurance defense. A certified mediator and former Adjunct Professor of Legal Writing and Appellate Advocacy at Mississippi College School of Law, he has successfully represented Fortune 500 companies, municipalities, and individuals in high-stakes litigation and complex commercial disputes.
The Jackson office supports local, regional, and national clients across a wide range of industries, including employers, manufacturers, insurers, professional service providers, and property owners. The team handles complex civil litigation in both state and federal courts, as well as administrative proceedings before federal and state agencies. Areas of practice include commercial litigation, employment law, insurance bad faith, construction, product and general liability, consumer protection, professional liability, environmental and toxic tort, breach of warranty, and breach of fiduciary duty.
With more than 100 years of combined litigation experience, the Jackson team is well-versed in Mississippi’s courts and connected to GRSM’s expansive 50-state platform. The office frequently collaborates with colleagues in Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Houston, and New Orleans, providing clients with seamless coverage across the Southeastern United States.
GRSM’s Jackson office is located in the One Eastover Center at 100 Vision Drive, Suite 375, Jackson, MS 39211, in the heart of the Capital City’s business district.
