The Legal 500 unveiled their second edition of the GC Powerlist: Atlanta 2024, naming Bluefin Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Paul Nam, to the list.
This edition is shining a spotlight on the exceptional legal talent that defines the bustling business landscape of this dynamic city. Atlanta is renowned as a bastion of innovation, culture, and progress, and accordingly, the GC Powerlist reflects its rich tapestry.
The list is a diverse array of in-house counsel representing a spectrum of industries, including food and beverage, manufacturing, energy, real estate, information technology, transport, infrastructure, healthcare and more.
Nam leads a team of three at Bluefin, a global payment solution and data security company providing PCI DSS-certified products and services to clients in retail, healthcare, higher education, non-profit, gaming, government, and franchise industries. The company’s 300 global partners serve 35,000 connected enterprise and software clients operating in 60 countries with over USD$40B in transactions.
Legal 500 sat down with Nam to discuss his team’s accomplishments in 2023 and what’s to come in 2024.
2023 was a hectic year as our legal team focused on integrating acquired entities in Austria and Slovakia while supporting commercial, compliance, and other operational matters. Bluefin also launched new partnerships and enterprise businesses with companies such as Scheidt & Bachmann in Europe and Invenco, Toast, and Everi in the US.
For 2024, our focus is education, and I have challenged my team to become SME’s in different areas of the law and build upon the existing knowledge base. With a stronger foundation in legal knowledge, we can provide better strategic support to the business and reduce expenditure. In addition, we are constantly fine-tuning our existing processes and documents to increase efficiency and profitability for the business.
Congratulations to Paul Nam on the inclusion of Atlanta’s 2024 GC Powerlist.
