Russell Jones and Kathryn McConnell have left Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton to become shareholders at Littler Mendelson, the nation's largest labor and employment firm.

That gives Littler's Atlanta office 43 lawyers, according to its website. The firm has more than 1,300 lawyers in more than 75 offices worldwide.

“Adding Russell and Katy, who both bring extensive experience in labor and employment law and a deep knowledge of the region, will further strengthen our team in Atlanta,” said Littler's Atlanta managing shareholder, L. Traywick Duffie, in an announcement.
