Batson Nolan PLC is proud to announce the addition of an accomplished attorney, Jennifer Gower Gaydon, to the firm’s Springfield office. Both women, born and raised in Robertson County, bring strong academic backgrounds, a passion for serving their community, and a commitment to excellence in the legal field.
Jennifer Gower Gaydon brings with her a wealth of experience in civil litigation to Batson Nolan. Jennifer graduated magna cum laude from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Electronic Media. While at UT, she was active in Alpha Omicron Pi, the Student Alumni Association, and Mortar Board Honor Society.
Jennifer earned her law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law, with a focus on advocacy and dispute resolution. She was a Student Materials Editor for the Tennessee Law Review, and her case synopsis was published in Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law. She was also active in the Law Women organization (serving as Vice President), and participated in the UT Pro Bono Homeless Project and the Advocacy Legal Clinic.
Following law school, Jennifer began her legal career in Knoxville, practicing both civil and criminal litigation. She joined Batson Nolan in 2013 before relocating to Chicago, where she worked with the Office of the Illinois Attorney General, representing state employees in civil rights matters. She also taught in the legal studies program at South College. Jennifer rejoined Batson Nolan in the spring of 2024, and her practice focuses on civil litigation, with extensive experience drafting appellate briefs and dispositive motions in both state and federal courts.
“We’re incredibly proud to welcome Jennifer to the firm,” said attorney Christy Bartee. “Their dedication to clients, legal expertise, and shared roots in this community align perfectly with our firm’s values and mission.”
Outside of their professional roles, Jennifer loves supporting the Vols and traveling with her husband and three children.
