Bernard H. Coleman, Jr. Is Atlanta Tribune - The Magazine's November 2011 Featured Attorney

Attorney Bernard H. Coleman, Jr., a Partner in Womble Carlyle law firm’s Corporate and Securities Practice Group and Leader of the firm’s Sports and Entertainment Practice in their Atlantic Station-based office in Atlanta, is the featured lawyer in the Attorney’s Corner column of Atlanta Tribune - The Magazine's November 2011 edition.

The feature of Attorney Coleman, who represents, among others, five-time world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, Atlanta Falcons All-Pro Wide Receiver Roddy White, and Atlanta Hawks legendary forward Dominique Wilkins, is titled "Bernard H. Coleman, Jr, Esq. - A Passion for Service."  Attorney Coleman is interviewed in Q&A format by Atlanta Tribune – The Magazine’s attorney-columnist Brian D. Poe, Esq.

A cum laude graduate of Harvard University, where he was a member of the varsity football team, and graduate of University of Virginia School of law, Attorney Coleman serves as legal counsel to entrepreneurs and fast-growth middle market companies in a variety of industries including, manufacturing and distribution, technology, franchising, personal care, staffing, hospitality, and entertainment.  As Leader of Womble Carlyle’s Sports and Entertainment Group in Atlanta, Attorney Coleman serves as legal counsel to professional athletes, entertainers, and entertainment companies in all aspects of the sports and entertainment business.

As the creator of “10 Laws of Success for Professional Athletes: How Not to Go Broke!,” Bernard counsels current and former professional athletes (including sports legends) on how to convert their celebrity and relationships into profitable business ventures to create multi-generational wealth for their families.

Attorney Coleman's law firm Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice is one of the United States’ top full-service law firms with nearly 600 attorneys located in the firm’s California, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina (headquarters), South Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C., offices.

Attorney Brian Poe, who is Partner of Poe Simpson law firm in Atlanta and Founder of the national legal recruiting firm Esquire Connect LLC, stated that Attorney Coleman is his most "personal" feature yet in the Atlanta Tribune – The Magazine’s Attorney's Corner column, given that they once practiced together at Troutman Sanders law firm, are both graduates of University of Virginia School of law, and remain close friends.  "I remember Bernard articulating a vision to develop a high-profile sports & entertainment practice within a major law firm practice to complement his work as a corporate transactions attorney.  I am not even sure that Bernard could have envisioned succeeding at this level so quickly, and he always credits his family, his legal mentor, his law firm Womble Carlyle, and its marketing team for his success."
