Miller & Martin PLLC

What Miller & Martin PLLC does

Miller & Martin PLLC is a Professional Limited Liability Company law firm founded in 1867 and headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The firm operates four offices across the southeastern United States — Chattanooga (headquarters), Atlanta, Nashville, and Charlotte — and provides full-service legal counsel across 50+ practice areas including Litigation, Corporate/M&A, Real Estate, Labor & Employment, Healthcare, Intellectual Property, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Product Liability, Privacy & Data Security, and Entertainment/Sports/Media, serving large enterprises, emerging businesses, and individual clients. The firm extends its geographic reach internationally through its membership in the World Law Group, an invitation-only network of 62 independent law firms providing access to 21,900+ lawyers in 87 countries.

The firm generates revenue through traditional professional-services billing: hourly fees, flat fees for specific matters, and alternative fee arrangements as agreed in engagement letters, with no publicly disclosed fee schedules. Its go-to-market relies on attorney-generated business, referrals, industry recognition (Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Legal 500), and the World Law Group referral network. No proprietary technology products, API surface, or AI tooling are disclosed; the technology stack is described as standard law firm infrastructure for legal research, document management, and client communications.

The firm's customer base spans notable historical anchors (the original Coca-Cola bottler, global motor vehicle manufacturers' North American subsidiaries, publicly traded consumer products and pharmaceutical companies, and 25+ de novo commercial banks/trust companies) alongside an active emerging-business practice that has helped clients raise over $157M. Miller & Martin is independently owned by its attorney members, with no parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership; Scott Parrish serves as Firm Chairman and Dave Hetzel as Executive Director.
