(May 2) – Ashton G. Cumberbatch, Jr., former vice president of advocacy for the Seton Healthcare Family and executive director of Seton Foundations, has returned to the Austin law firm McGinnis Lochridge, where he practiced from 1989 to 2002.
Cumberbatch, a volunteer policy advisor for Austin Mayor Steve Adler, has rejoined as special counsel. He focuses his practice on alternative dispute resolution and labor and employment law.
Prior to his tenure at Seton, Cumberbatch served as police monitor for the City of Austin. Earlier in his career in the 1980s, he was chief of the Trial Division at the Travis County District Attorney’s office.
The University of Texas School of Law graduate has held numerous leadership positions in the Austin community including past president of the Austin Area Research Organization, past president of the Community Advancement Network, past chair of the Greater Austin Black Chamber and executive pastor of Agape Christian Ministries.
“[McGinnis Lochridge] has such a special connection to our city and high standards for client service,” Cumberbatch said in a statement. “After my time working in community advocacy, I look forward to returning to the practice of law with a perspective of reconciling systemic issues and serving our clients as a part of our extended community.”
