ACTON, Mass., May 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Psychemedics Corporation (NASDAQ: PMD ), the world's largest provider of hair analysis drug testing, today announced that James Abely has been promoted to the position of Vice President and General Counsel.

In this important role, Jim is responsible for directing and managing all of the company's legal activities, including working closely with the company's clients, and reports directly to the company's CEO.  Jim joined Psychemedics in June 2016 as Associate General Counsel, after practicing law for 6 years with the Boston firm of Goodwin Procter LLP, following his graduation from the University of Virginia School of Law.  Jim was later promoted to General Counsel.
