Bill Nolan is a Labor & Employment partner at Barnes & Thornburg LLP in Columbus, an office he opened in 2009 and guided through steady and thoughtful growth for its first 15 years. He brings attentiveness and clarity to bear on employment, contract, and other disputes and help clients make optimal and cost-effective decisions in difficult situations, and plan strategically to minimize those situations.

Bill believes that his employment practice and years of office and community leadership dovetail and complement each other in a unified focus on helping businesses and other organizations run well so that individuals can succeed.
