Atlanta real estate law firm Cook & James has promoted Richard Staniszewski, Brook Zink and Jamie DiGregory to executive positions, according to a press release.

Staniszewski transitions into the newly created position of vice president of client success. Zink succeeds Staniszewski as vice president of operation, and DiGregory succeeds Zink as director of operations.

“Despite the unsettled nature of 2020, we experienced significant growth in large part thanks to the leadership of Richard, Brook and Jamie,” Kara Cook, co-founding partner at Cook & James, said in the press release. “We are delighted to kick off the new year by recognizing this trio of professionals with well-deserved promotions.”

Staniszewski, who joined Cook & James in 2012, will focus on client service. Zink joined the company in 2013 and has held the position of director of operations for the last five years. DiGregory also started with the company eight years ago and has been responsible for overseeing the company’s record-breaking volume and implementing a number of policies and procedures.

“I join Kara in congratulating Richard, Brook and Jamie,” said Heather James, co-founding partner at Cook & James. “Each one of our team members is integral to our success, but today we specifically recognize the key role these three people have played to expand and develop our firm. These pros exemplify our company culture and we heartily thank them.”
