COLUMBIA (May 19, 2010) – National labor and employment law firm Fisher & Phillips, LLP, announced that Hagood Tighe, a partner in the Columbia office, has been elected to serve a two-year term on the South Carolina Bar Association’s House of Delegates.

“It’s an honor to be elected to the Bar’s House of Delegates,” said Tighe, who recently served as Chair of the South Carolina Bar’s Labor and Employment section. “I look forward to this role serving the members of the Bar.” Tighe currently serves as a member of the Bar’s Continuing Legal Education and Convention Committees.
