Ariel Anthony is an AVP & Legal Counsel for Unum Group. She manages the company’s litigation across the United States. Prior to Unum, we worked at Husch Blackwell for seven years, handling complex commercial litigation. She serves in various leadership positions across the city. She has been focused on improving diversity in the legal field in Chattanooga since she moved to Chattanooga in 2015. She is a founding member of the Chattanooga Legal Diversity Consortium (CLDC). She is heavily involved with the CLDC pipeline initiatives, including the CLDC Minority Clerkship Program, which offers 1L law students an opportunity to work at a company and law firm the summer after their first year of law school, and Chattanooga Leadership and Law Academy, a 2-day law camp for high school students to introduce them to various part of the legal practice. Having served on various boards and in leadership positions, she is excited to focus her energy on organizations that are close to my heart.

Outside of work, Ariel is busy being a mother to a very busy high schooler. Most of her time is spent driving her daughter to her volleyball games and track meets.
