Elrod, who came from Miller & Martin, will work with Amanda Buckley in the corporate practice area. Elrod was attracted to Hartman Simons in large part because of the team atmosphere. Born and bred in Atlanta, Elrod graduated from Washington and Lee University and earned his law degree at the University of North Carolina. He is getting married this fall.
