Jeremy Berry may be a big-firm lawyer, but politics is more than just an extracurricular activity for him.

Berry does the usual sort of political volunteering, serving on the board of a Democratic organization, Red Clay Democrats, and knocking on doors on weekends. But his day job as an associate at McKenna Long & Aldridge is politics, too, as his practice includes advising those who want to do business with the government, as well as representing elected officials as they navigate campaign finance and ethics issues.
