Atkinson is recognized for her work by various lawyer ranking publications, including Chambers USA and Chambers Global for her FCPA work, Global Investigations Review, which named her one of the top Women in Investigations (2015), and Latinvex, where she is ranked as one of Latin America’s Top 100 Female Lawyers for FCPA and Fraud (2017 – 2019).
She has served on the firm’s Executive Committee as chair of the International Department since 2012 after several years as vice chair of that department. She has also held positions on the firm’s Compensation, Hiring, Lawyer Development, and Pro Bono Committees.
In addition to Atkinson, the firm’s Executive Committee includes vice chair Adam P. Feinberg, Tax Department chair Kevin L. Kenworthy, Litigation Department chair Andrew T. Wise, International Department chair James G. Tillen, and at-large members Maria O’Toole Jones and Preston L. Pugh.
