Lightfoot, Franklin & White LLC has welcomed three new associate attorneys to its Birmingham office. Anne C. Hughes joins as a lateral associate, while Rachel S. Bragg and Mary Clark Logan join as first-year associates.
“We are excited to welcome these talented attorneys to the firm,” managing partner Melody H. Eagan said. “All are standout, up-and-coming leaders among their peers, and we are looking forward to seeing them develop their careers as part of Team Lightfoot.”
Hughes joins Lightfoot from a Birmingham-based Am Law 200 firm, where she focused her practice on real estate litigation, leasing issues, large landlord-tenant disputes and land use projects. She previously served as a judicial intern for the U.S. District Judges Madeline H. Haikala and Corey L. Maze of the Northern District of Alabama, and as an extern for Judge L. Scott Coogler of the same court. Hughes earned her J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law.
Bragg was a Lightfoot summer associate in 2023 and 2024. She graduated with honors from Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law, where she received the Daniel Austin Brewer Professionalism Award and numerous Scholar of Merit/CALI awards. Bragg served as president of the Cumberland chapter of the Alabama Defense Lawyers Association, advocated in the law school’s Veterans Legal Assistance Clinic and competed as a member of the National Moot Court Team.
Logan, also a Lightfoot summer associate in 2023 and 2024, previously worked as an international trade specialist at a large trade law boutique firm based in Washington, D.C. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Alabama School of Law, where she received the Judge Walter P. Gewin Best Brief Award (the school’s highest moot court honor) and consecutive CALI Awards for Best Paper in Legal Writing. Logan was also the articles editor for the Alabama Law Review and clerked with Chief U.S. District Judge L. Scott Coogler of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.
