Battle premises slips, auto wrecks, and med-mal defenses at a 40-year Atlanta boutique that's secured $50M+ in dismissals for insurers and self-insureds through aggressive trials and early resolutions—empowering mid-level warriors to own dockets from intake to verdict in a low-stress, mentorship-rich culture that grooms independents for courtroom command. This 200-attorney stalwart, Super Lawyers-honored for liability prowess, blends laid-back vibes with structured partner guidance, offering hybrid flexibility and early trial exposure that eclipses Big Law's paper-pushing grind in Georgia's bustling civil arena.

Why You Should Join:

Early Trial Firepower Legacy – First/second-chair 5+ jury trials annually in premises/auto defenses, leveraging the firm's 90% favorable outcome rate that has trained 70% of associates into certified trial attorneys within four years.
Low-Stress Independence Culture – Thrive in a no-micromanagement haven with open-door seniors, where 85% report superior balance via flexible schedules and a "laid-back" ethos that prioritizes results over hours.
Sophisticated Liability Mix – Tackle trucking crashes, slip-falls, and professional negligence intersecting with municipal risks, drawing on multidisciplinary backup for $10M+ exposures in EDGA and state courts.
Structured Mentorship to Partnership – Accelerate to equity in 6-8 years via transparent metrics and direct partner shadowing, with recent elevations proving a model where initiative trumps pedigree amid steady caseload growth.
Competitive Compensation Package – Earn $180K base targeting manageable hours (1750-1950 flexible), with 401(k) 4% match, subsidized health/dental/vision, PTO, and performance bonuses in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

Responsibilities:

Manage Full Caseload Autonomy – Oversee 20-30 matters from initial investigations to settlements, developing defense theories aligned with client risk profiles in premises and auto liability claims.
Draft Persuasive Pleadings & Motions – Prepare answers, MSJs, and discovery responses that secure dismissals, incorporating expert affidavits on causation and damages.
Conduct Depositions & Hearings – Lead plaintiff/witness exams and argue motions in superior court, extracting admissions to bolster summaries.
Negotiate Resolutions & Trials – Mediate multimillion exposures and second-chair jury selections, delivering openings/closings tailored to Georgia venues.
Client Reporting & Strategy – Update carriers on viability via detailed memos, advising on subrogation and appellate paths.
