Fisher Phillips has named Jennifer Sandberg as its new Atlanta office leader, making her the first woman to hold that position. It’s a key role for the firm as it continues to connect its future leaders with established partners who have built it up from its Atlanta roots.

Sandberg succeeds longtime leader Bert Brannen, who has returned to a full-time law practice, and Terri Stewart has taken on Sandberg’s former role as the office’s deputy managing partner.
