William L. Brantley

Will Brantley is an associate at Harris Shelton Hanover Walsh PLCC whose practice focuses on municipal law, commercial litigation, land use, economic development, and appellate advocacy.

He represents cities, towns, school boards, and businesses in a range of litigation and advisory matters including constitutional claims, federal‑statutory issues, and land‑use disputes. He also works with municipalities and development entities to structure incentive arrangements – such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and C‑PACE programs – in support of redevelopment.

Before entering private practice, Will clerked for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama and the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit – experience that shapes his approach to written advocacy and litigation strategy. He has successfully represented clients before Tennessee’s appellate courts and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Will earned his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he served as president of the Federalist Society and led the chapter to its first Chapter of the Year award.

Outside of his practice, he enjoys travel, live music, and maintaining a regular workout routine.
