Governor-Elect Matt Bevin's transition team announced Friday that attorney Chad Meredith will serve as Deputy General Counsel in the Governor's Office.

A native of Leitchfield, 34-year-old Meredith earned a B.A. from Washington and Lee University and received his J.D. from the University of Kentucky College of Law, where he was a recipient of the Bert Combs Scholarship.

"We are excited to announce Chad Meredith as the Governor's Deputy General Counsel," said General Counsel Steve Pitt. "Chad is an impressive lawyer with the rare distinction of work experience in both United States district and circuit courts. He will do an excellent job in service to the Commonwealth." 

Meredith began his legal career as a law clerk for Judge John M. Rogers on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. After his clerkship with Judge Rogers, Chad then clerked for Judge Amul R. Thapar on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Following his clerkships, Chad entered private practice with the law firm of Frost Brown Todd, LLC, in Louisville, Kentucky, where he practiced litigation until joining Ransdell & Roach of Lexington.

"I am honored to be given this opportunity to serve Governor Bevin and the people of Kentucky," said Meredith. "Governor Bevin has assembled a phenomenal team, and I am thrilled to join it.  I look forward to helping the Governor implement his vision for the Commonwealth."
