Thomas J. Mew

My practice spans a wide range of employment law matters, including individual and class action wage-and-hour, discrimination, and harassment litigation. I also handle cases in arbitration and mediation and provide guidance on employment contracts, releases, and restrictive covenant issues. Over the years, I have represented clients at all levels of state and federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court, where I played a role in the landmark case Bostock v. Clayton County, GA, 140 S. Ct. 1731, 590 U.S. 644 (2020). In recognition of my work in the Bostock case, I was honored to receive the Stonewall Bar Association’s Conspicuous Service to the Stonewall Community Award in October 2020. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Georgia School of Law, where I was a member of the school’s national championship-winning moot court team. After law school, I clerked for Judge Herschel Franks of the Tennessee Court of Appeals and for the Honorable Harold L. Murphy of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Prior to joining Buckley Bala Wilson Mew LLP, I practiced law for many years at Rogers & Hardin LLP. I am the co-author of “Georgia Motion Practice,” a guide to civil motion practice in Georgia’s trial and appellate courts, and “Georgia Employment Law.” Additionally, I contributed to the third edition of Employee Benefits Law (Bloomberg BNA 2012). I was recognized as one of the Georgia legal community’s “Rising Stars” in 2006, 2007, and 2009, and have since been named a SuperLawyer.
