Jennifer Powers has been named a partner with Phelps Dunbar LLP.
Powers joined the firm’s business group in Birmingham. She is experienced in structuring and closing large commercial finance transactions, according to a news release.
“Jennifer’s unique experience assisting institutional lenders and large national non-banking lenders in commercial financing transactions will be a tremendous benefit to our clients locally in Birmingham and across the Phelps footprint,” Managing Partner George Morris said.
Powers was most recently a shareholder with Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC in Tampa, Florida.
Phelps has more than 350 attorneys in offices across the Southeast and in London, England. The firm’s six core practice groups are admiralty, business, health care, insurance, labor and employment and litigation.
The New Orleans-based firm entered the Birmingham market in 2021 when it acquired Cabaniss Johnston Gardner Dumas & O'Neal LLP, one of the oldest law firms in the state at the time.
