Why This Role Stands Out

If you're a litigator who wants real responsibility, courtroom experience, and a long-term career path , this is not a back-office defense role. You will handle high-stakes matters from inception through trial and appeal , work directly with experienced partners, and develop the skills needed to eventually build your own book of business .

  • Taking and defending depositions
  • Appearing in court and arguing motions
  • Participating in trials and appeals

• Bodily injury or civil litigation experience preferred (not required)
• Criminal law litigators transitioning to civil litigation are welcome
• Active Georgia Bar license (required)
• Strong writing, analytical, and advocacy skills

What You'll Gain
