Before joining Drummond Woodsum, Hadley practiced at a corporate defense firm in Florida, where she led the premises liability division for a national fast-casual restaurant chain. She litigated cases across Central and North Florida from initial claim through trial, negotiated favorable settlements that saved her client millions in potential exposure, and developed strong working relationships with in-house legal and risk management teams. She also provided training to firm clients on civil procedural developments and their potential impact on litigation in Florida.

Hadley earned her J.D., cum laude with Honors, from Barry University School of Law, along with a Certificate in Child & Family Law.

During law school, she also served as a Dean’s Study Fellow and worked as a research assistant to Professor Wes Henricksen, contributing to his book In Fraud We Trust, winner of the 2025 Scribes Book Award. She received her B.S. in Marketing, magna cum laude with Honors, from the University of Tampa.
