Lance Lee, AGG International Arbitration partner, was featured in a Global Arbitration Review article highlighting his addition to AGG’s International Arbitration practice. "Lance’s international arbitration experience and strategic insights into the South Korean market are tremendous assets," AGG partner Glenn Hendrix said. "His ability to manage complex cross-border disputes will further strengthen our international capabilities.” Lance began his legal career as a trial attorney in the U.S. Army JAG Corps and retired with the rank of Captain after completing the U.S. Army Airborne School as a military paratrooper. From 2012 to 2023, he served as a partner at Dentons Korea, where he led the firm’s international arbitration practice. Reflecting on his new role, Lance commented, “I’m honored to join AGG and collaborate with such a talented team. I look forward to bringing my experience in South Korea and international arbitration to support our clients’ strategic goals, whether they’re expanding into new markets or managing complex legal challenges.” https://lnkd.in/eQdj-GBm

On November 21, AGG participated in Covenant House Georgia’s annual Sleep Out to show solidarity and support for youth facing homelessness. We extend a huge thank to Covenant House and all who participated, including AGG’s 2024 Sleep Out team, Sean Fogarty, Anisa Abdullahi, Rebecca Davis, David Marmins, Andrew Much, John Spinrad, Knox Withers, Meicheng zhu, Lisa Churvis, Meghan R. Gordon, and Jacob Vail. We are proud to have raised more than $49,000 for Covenant House. Together, Sleep Out Atlanta has raised $850,000. The Sleep Out raises critical funds to allow Covenant House to continue providing a space for youth to sleep safely and receive meals, education, workforce development, medical and mental health care, and other essential services to help build better futures. During Sleep Out, sleepers give up their beds for the night to sleep outside and engage in opportunities to learn from experts, hear inspiring stories, and advocate for a future where everyone has a safe place to sleep.
