The international firm in 2011 staunched the revenue dip of the previous year, reporting relatively flat financials with fewer lawyers. Locally, the office shed eight lawyers, but Atlanta office chair Philip J. Marzetti looks for growth in 2012. “As a result of the addition of Steven Park and Robin McGrath to our office, our IP litigation practice will grow exponentially this year,” he said. “In addition, our global payment systems practice, our finance practice and our M&A/private equity practice should remain strong.”
