It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our former colleague, Von Hatley, earlier this summer after an extended illness. Von was Managing Director of Jones Walker Consulting for more than ten years and was resident in our Mobile, Alabama office. Von was passionate about supporting and guiding clients in their site selection efforts to locate or expand new facilities. Most recently, Von worked closely with our firm client, Ochsner Health, to develop two personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturing facilities in the Acadiana region.

Von was a prolific speaker and writer. A highlight of his long and successful career was being selected as a member of the Site Selectors Guild (the Guild), a professional association of the world’s leading corporate location advisors in February 2020. Guild membership is the highest standard in the site selection industry.

The attorneys and staff of Jones Walker extend their deepest condolences to Von’s family and all those whose lives he touched.
