Since Donald Clark Jr.'s election to chairman of Butler Snow in 2006, the partnership with Mississippi roots has grown from the three-office, 140-lawyer outfit it was a decade ago, to a 330-lawyer international firm with offices in 24 locations.

Clark, 68, will have another two-and-a-half years to continue his firm's Bull Run. The Jackson, Mississippi-based partner was re-elected chairman this week to serve in leadership until January 2020. His term was set to expire at the end of the year.

“When the firm asked me to continue on for the next couple of years after this year, I told them I'd be happy to do that,” Clark said Thursday. “I think after 10 or 12 years, you kind of learn how to do this job.”
