The reins of the American Bar Association were handed over this week when President Carolyn B. Lamm passed the gavel to incoming President Stephen N. Zack at the ABA’s annual meeting.
According to a recap of the event provided by the ABA, Lamm called Zack, a Miami-based partner at Boies, Schiller & Flexner, an “incomparable advocate and strategist,” while also noting his rise through the ranks of both The Florida Bar as well as the ABA.
Multiple reports noted that Cuban-born Zack is the first Hispanic to serve as president of the ABA.
Zack’s main practice area is complex commercial litigation, emphasizing class actions, products liability cases and federal multi-district litigation. He is a specialist in civil trial law, as well as eminent domain, corporate and international law.
