Atlanta, December 21, 2023 – Arnall Golden Gregory LLP (AGG) announces the addition of eight attorneys in Atlanta, bringing the firm’s 2023 recruiting count to 23 attorneys added in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. across nine practice groups.

“Our strategic focus on smart growth continues to bear fruit in the form of attracting and retaining lateral attorneys who have the expertise and personality needed to counsel our clients in this ever-changing legal environment,” said Jonathan E. Eady, managing partner at AGG. “The market for legal talent is highly competitive today, especially in these markets, and these hires demonstrate our dedication to expanding in key areas of growth for AGG.”

“In 2024, we will strive to continue the momentum that has required us to upgrade our office space in Atlanta and expand our footprint in D.C.,” said Sean P. Fogarty, who will assume the role as AGG’s managing partner in January 2024. “We will remain forward-looking in our growth strategy and aggressive in our recruiting efforts, while maintaining our commitment to uphold our firm culture, which is a non-negotiable component of our expansion.”

In addition to adding significant depth of legal talent, AGG upgraded its space in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., including relocating its D.C. operations in January 2023 to the heart of the Washington Central Business District. The new location has afforded the firm’s team in the capital with enhanced facilities, collaborative features, and space for continued growth in the future.
