Evans Bailey has been named general counsel of the Alabama Press Association (the “APA”) effective January 1, 2025.  The APA is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, non-profit trade associations in Alabama. It has sought to further the common interests of Alabama newspapers since the late 1800s.  As general counsel, one of Evans’ many roles includes operating the APA’s legal hotline where members can ask questions and receive opinions regarding open records, open meetings, advertisements, retraction requests, and similar matters.  Evans is preceded in the General Counsel role by his father, former Rushton Stakely partner Dennis Bailey, who served as APA general counsel for more than 20 years.
