American Bar Foundation Fellows 2020 Announced

May 24, 2022

Grant, Konvalinka, and Harrison, P.C. congratulates Director Brittany T. Faith on being chosen by the American Bar Foundation as one of its 2020 Fellows. Fellows are recommended by their peers and elected by the Board of the American Bar Foundation. The ABF limits membership in the fellows to 1% of lawyers licensed to practice in each jurisdiction. The selection process includes peer nomination, after which the ABF board votes on inclusion.


Fellows must demonstrate outstanding dedication to the highest principles of the legal profession and welfare of their communities. Fellows support the research of the American Bar Foundation through annual contributions and sponsor seminars and events of direct relevance to the legal profession.


Ms. Faith was also recently appointed to be the American Bar Association Young Lawyers’ Division (ABA) YLD Council in the senior leadership position of Co-Director of the ABA Young Lawyers’ Division Practice Services Committee. This is the highest position held in the ABA YLD by a Tennessee young lawyer since 2005. She will be responsible for the ABA YLD over 25 practice orientated committees that enhance the ABA member experience. She previously served as the Chair of the ABA YLD Immigration Committee.


Ms. Faith is a member of GKH's Immigration Group and focuses her practice on immigration, including family-based immigration petitions, employment-based petitions, and humanitarian relief. She is committed to providing personalized, cost-effective immigration services for her clients around the world and across the U.S.


“Brittany has shown passion and dedication to improving the practice of law for attorneys across the United States,” said GKH’s Managing partner, David Harrison, “We are proud of her accomplishments and expect there will be many more in her future.”
