SECTION UPDATE
INTERNATIONAL LAW
As Chair of the newly reactivated International Law
Section of the Atlanta Bar, I am excited to reinvigo-
rate this group with our passionate members. The
international legal and business communities are
thriving in Atlanta and the surrounding area, and we
are thrilled with the slate of events and programs we
will be hosting, or co-hosting with other active orga-
nizations, in the upcoming year. As a first generation
American with parents from Sweden and Norway,
and as the Honorary Consul for both countries, I
am deeply aware of the current international de-
velopments in Atlanta and surrounding areas, and
am honored to lead this group of attorneys who are
also passionate about the international community.
I began my legal career began working in-house at
Exxon-Mobil Corporation’s Texas headquarters.
That exposure to a global enterprise was the genesis
of my interest in the international business commu-
nity and the work I have been doing as a principal
at Bodker, Ramsey, Andrews, Winograd & Wildstein
now for 30 years. I couldn’t ask for a better or more
supportive group of colleagues.
In addition to my legal practice, I have occupied
roles with various international non-profit orga-

nizations, including serving as former chair and
current board member of the Swedish-American
Chamber of Commerce of Georgia.
The International Law Section is currently seeking
to establish relationships and alliances with vari-
ous other sections of the Atlanta Bar, the Georgia
Bar, and other bar associations and affinity groups
that are tied to the broader international legal and
business community in Atlanta, and I encourage
your input and ideas. We are also looking for sec-
tion and event sponsors, so please let me know if
you or someone you know would be interested in
discussing further. With your support and involve-
ment, I look forward to contributing to and learning
from our internationally diverse and fascinating
community!
