Tanner Wadsworth joined our New Lawyers Group (NLG) in 2023. The NLG provides our newest lawyers with the opportunity to gain exposure to different practice areas and lawyering styles before making a commitment to a specific practice. Individuals in the NLG may focus on a particular area of practice, or compare practices, during their first year with Jones Day.
Tanner has an active pro bono practice. He is a member of the U.S. State Department's Hague Convention Attorney Network, which facilitates the return of wrongfully removed children to their home countries. He also maintains a commitment to scholarship. His research explores how traditional common law principles can solve contemporary problems in administrative and property law.
Locally, Tanner is active in the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers and the Judge Paul Brown American Inn of Court. Before entering law school, he was a writer at an advertising agency, where his work won a Clio Award and a One Show Pencil.
