Ms. N. Shannon Gentry Lanier

Shannon joined Synovus Securities / Gracestone after a lengthy legal career. Her core skill set as a lawyer - solving complicated issues through exhaustive research and attention to detail, while balancing risks to the client - applies with equal force to her work in the investment world.

Gracestone's problem solver and resident wordsmith, Shannon focuses on research and internal analysis regarding investment strategies for high net worth families with particular emphases on investment planning / management and portfolio management.

In a previous work life, Shannon happily served as a partner at Hull Barrett, P.C. in Augusta, Georgia. Her legal career initially focused on the areas of media law, tort defense and commercial litigation before later turning to motions work and the defense of common carriers / derailment cases.
