About Jay
Jay McCurdy is an attorney admitted to practice in Tennessee. He built his academic foundation over more than a decade, moving from undergraduate study to graduate work and then to law school. The arc of his education shows an early commitment to the humanities and social study, followed by specialization in law.
He graduated from Wabash College in 1989. He then earned a Master of Arts from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1994. After several years of further study and preparation, he completed his Juris Doctor at Washington and Lee University School of Law in 2001.
The sequence of degrees suggests a deliberate path into the law. The graduate work between his undergraduate and legal studies gave him time to refine his interests and professional aims. By the time he finished at Washington and Lee, he was equipped to enter practice in Tennessee.
McCurdy’s professional experience includes work at Husch, Blackwell, Sanders, Welsh & Katz LLP. That period of his career provided exposure to a firm environment and the routines of private practice. He has handled matters that required coordination with colleagues and attention to procedural detail.
Throughout his career he has remained connected to the bar and the legal community in Tennessee. He maintains licensure in the state and works within its courts and regulatory structures. His practice has evolved alongside changes in the legal market and the shifting needs of clients in the region.
Colleagues describe him as practical and steady in the handling of legal matters. He balances case preparation with client communication and aims to be straightforward about outcomes and timelines. He also draws on his earlier academic work when addressing complex legal issues that touch on broader policy or institutional questions.
McCurdy continues to practice law in Tennessee. He manages a caseload that reflects his years of education and the experience he gained at private firm practice. He currently practices law in Tennessee.
