We want to hear from you, but before you click the “ACCEPT” button below, please be aware of the following:

Sending an email to Adams and Reese LLP does not create an attorney-client relationship.  We do not accept client representations by email.  We do not treat unsolicited information received by email from our website as confidential.

If you are contacting us about a possible representation, we cannot represent you until we know that we would not have a conflict of interest.  Please do not send us any information about a potential representation until you communicate with one of our lawyers by telephone or in person about representation. 

By clicking “ACCEPT” you agree that we may review any information you send us, and that we do not need to consider it confidential.  You also agree that our review of your email or any information in it, even if you submitted it in a good faith effort to retain us, and even if you consider it confidential, will not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even in a matter where that information could and will be used against you.

Please click “ACCEPT” if you understand and accept the foregoing statement and wish to proceed.

I value the relationships I have cultivated over the years with federal, state and local government leaders that allow me to know who to connect with, how to connect with. These connections allow me effectively advocate for my corporate clients and their best interests at the intersection of business and government.

Primary Practice:

Barbara “Barbie” Norton assists clients at the intersection of business and government, counseling corporations on economic and business development opportunities, navigating them through local, state and federal regulatory requirements, and connecting clients’ interests and policy goals to further investment and business growth.

Before joining Adams and Reese, Barbie spent four years in Washington, DC in various roles within SelectUSA, the federal government program housed within the United States Department of Commerce charged to promote and facilitate business investment into the United States. Barbie served as chief of staff, senior advisor and deputy director of administration for a federal program that has facilitated more than $105 billion in client-verified investment projects, supporting more than 138,000 jobs since inception.

Barbie also has a background in political consulting, campaign management and political fundraising, displaying her skills in campaign strategy, event planning, research, data management and professional communications. These grassroots efforts and working on federal to state and local elections helped her establish relationships with elected officials, activists and community leaders.
