The firms managing shareholder in Atlanta is Linda A. Klein, who in 1997 became the first woman president of the State Bar of Georgia, and who last August concluded a two-year term as chairwoman of the ABAs House of Delegates. Klein predicted that an increasingly global economy will require lawyers to be more prepared to deal with clients who have international entanglements, even at the local level. Outsourcing issues are also important, particularly to corporate counsel, Klein said. Cyber security is critical for all law firms, both internally and in advising clients. Large companies and their vendors will be asked to assure they have a clean supply chain, free of the victims of human trafficking and otherwise. Klein also predicted that construction will pick up in 2013 but that the focus on bankruptcies and restructurings will likely continue.
