Veteran lawyer joins The Beacon Center

Wen Fa, formerly a senior attorney for the Pacific Legal Foundation, has joined the Beacon Center of Tennessee as director of legal affairs. In this role, Fa will lead the expansion of Beacon’s litigation efforts to protect Tennesseans’ freedoms from government overreach.

Fa previously worked in the equality and opportunity program at the Pacific Legal Foundation, where he brought two winning cases before the United States Supreme Court: the first vindicating the free speech right of voters to wear political apparel when they vote, and the other protecting the property rights of agricultural businesses to exclude unwanted union activists.

“My parents and I emigrated from China decades ago to pursue our American dream,” Fa said in an announcement of his appointment. “I look forward to helping entrepreneurs, innovators and property owners in the pursuit of their American dream by ensuring that courts enforce their constitutional rights.”

Beacon CEO Justin Owen said in a statement Tennesseans from all across the state will benefit from Wen’s tenacity as Beacon defends their freedoms in court.
