/PRNewswire/ Ohio River South, a government relations firm focused on the New American South, today announced that Chuck Meadows will join its bi-partisan.
Ahead of a scheduled Friday Superior Court hearing, an attorney for Chatham Area Transit has filed a motion seeking to disqualify the attorney and law firm representing former CAT CEO and executive director Bacarra Mauldin. The motion also asks the court to consider tossing Mauldin’s request to be reinstated through a motion for preliminary injunction.
Filed Wednesday night by attorney John Bennett with Freeman Mathis & Gary, LLP, the motion alleges that representatives from Buckley Beal LLP, which Mauldin has retained for counsel, have been communicating with CAT board of directors Vice Chairman Clinton Edminster.
Bennett says this communication violates the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct 4.2, which is an anti-contact rule. He is seeking to disqualify the firm as a whole and attorney Edward Buckley, whom Mauldin has retained as representation.
Chatham Area Transit has enlisted the help of an Atlanta-based public relations and strategy firm to manage the fallout from last month s abrupt termination of former CEO Bacarra Mauldin.
