Clay Clark has spent decades in civil litigation learning what happens when timing, strategy, and human behavior intersect. He is a partner with Clark, May, Price, Lawley & Paul, LLC in Birmingham, Alabama, where his practice includes workers’ compensation defense, employment law, industrial accident litigation, retaliatory discharge, discrimination, motor carrier litigation, and general liability matters.

He is also a frequent lecturer on workers’ compensation, employment law, and industrial accident litigation.
