Atlanta-based Cook & James has added two attorneys, Bryce Linden and Jana Paterson, to its staff, the company announced.
The company said both attorneys will help the firm increase closing transaction business throughout Atlanta and further penetrate throughout Georgia.
“We have expanded in a steady growth pattern over the last few years,” said Heather James, co-founding partner at Cook & James. “Today’s announcement that Bryce and Jana have joined our firm allows us to better meet the needs of our current clients and more strategically expand our signature ‘at-home’ closing service to new areas in the Atlanta metro and throughout Georgia.”
Linden will work on residential resale transactions as well as with home builders. He was a former EPA clerk, specializing in hazardous waste, chemical clean-up and other environmental hazards as they pertain to real estate transactions.
Paterson has partnered with Cook & James since 2012 as a contractor. She will continue to spearhead refinance closing transactions and add new and resales to her workload.
“Bringing Jana and Bryce on board allows us to harness their expertise and enthusiasm to continue to offer a superior closing experience to our valuable clients, collaborators and colleagues,” said Kara Cook, co-founding partner. “We are happy to announce our newest staff expansion with these two professionals who fit so nicely with the Cook & James culture.”
