What You'll Be Doing ::
Manage commercial and business litigation matters from inception through resolution.
Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery requests and responses, and legal memoranda.
Participate in depositions, hearings, mediations, and trial preparation.
Work directly with clients while providing practical legal advice and strategic guidance.
Identify issues proactively and independently drive cases forward.
Collaborate closely with firm leadership on sophisticated litigation matters.
What We're Looking For ::
2+ years of commercial or business litigation experience.
Licensed to practice law in Georgia (or eligible for admission).
Exceptional legal writing and analytical skills.
Experience drafting substantive motions and managing discovery.
Strong courtroom presence or a genuine desire to gain more litigation experience.
Someone who naturally takes ownership rather than waiting for direction.
High attention to detail with outstanding judgment and professionalism.
Nice to Have ::
Experience handling shareholder disputes, breach of contract litigation, partnership disputes, fiduciary litigation, business torts, construction litigation, trade secret matters, or other complex commercial disputes.
Deposition, mediation, or trial experience.
Experience working directly with business clients.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This firm intentionally gives associates significantly more responsibility than most traditional law firms. You'll have direct client exposure, meaningful ownership over your matters, mentorship from experienced litigators, and a genuine path toward partnership based on performance rather than simply years of practice.
The firm also embraces technology that improves efficiency while maintaining a strong commitment to exceptional legal writing, sound judgment, and outstanding client service.
A bit about us:
-
Are you looking for more than just another litigation position?
A highly respected Atlanta litigation boutique is seeking a Commercial Litigation Associate who wants meaningful responsibility, direct client interaction, and the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing practice.
Unlike many larger firms where associates are siloed into narrow responsibilities, this role offers ownership of sophisticated business litigation matters from initial case assessment through trial. You'll work directly alongside experienced litigators while developing the judgment, autonomy, and client relationships typically reserved for much more senior attorneys.
This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys taking initiative, solving complex legal problems, and becoming a trusted advisor to clients.
