Arnall Golden Gregory elected Glenn P. Hendrix as the firm’s new managing partner last month. He will take over in January from William H. Kitchens, who has led the 130-lawyer firm for 12 years.

Hendrix, 49, is a litigator like Kitchens, practicing health care and international law, including international arbitration. He has spent his entire career at AGG, joining the Atlanta firm in 1985 after receiving his law degree from Emory University Law School.
