Drummond Woodsum Elects Three Attorneys to Firm’s Board of Directors

Drummond Woodsum is pleased to announce the recent re-election of Michael-Corey Hinton and Joanna Brown Tourangeau and the election of Elek Miller to his first term to the firm’s Board of Directors.

“Corey and Joanna have demonstrated exceptional leadership throughout their years on the Board, and the firm is fortunate they have agreed to serve for another term,” Managing Director David Kallin said. “Elek has already shown strong leadership within the firm, including serving as board chair of our subsidiary Drummond Woodsum Enterprises and helping expand our work in digital security and artificial intelligence law. We’re excited that he’ll be bringing his unique perspective to the Board.”

Working across several practice groups, Elek Miller advises clients on privacy, cybersecurity, technology, labor and employment, and school law matters. He leads the firm’s Privacy and Data Security and Artificial Intelligence Practice Groups and has played a key role in expanding the firm’s expertise in those emergent areas of law.

Corey Hinton, Co-Chair of the firm’s Tribal Nations Practice Group, advises Tribal Nations, Tribe-owned entities, and Indigenous organizations on federal Indian law and policy, employment matters, economic development, gaming regulation, and environmental and natural resource issues. A citizen of the Passamaquoddy Tribe (Sipayik), Corey has helped secure transformative economic, environmental, and legislative victories for Indigenous communities, including the passage of Maine’s internet gaming and sports betting laws. Corey has earned numerous recognitions for his work, including a spot on the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development’s “Native American 40 Under 40” list.

Joanna Brown Tourangeau is a member of the firm’s Environmental and Natural Resources Practice Group who has more than 25 years of experience representing commercial, industrial, municipal, and Tribal Nations clients across Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. She provides strategic guidance on permitting, licensure, compliance, and liability matters in connection with air, water, and solid and hazardous waste regulations and related statutes. Joanna has twice been named Portland’s Environmental Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers and has been recognized by Chambers & Partners for her outstanding environmental practice.
