About the Firm
A boutique personal injury trial firm based in Atlanta is seeking a highly motivated Associate Attorney to join its growing practice. With more than $80 million recovered for injured individuals and families in cases involving motor vehicle collisions, medical malpractice, sexual assault, trucking collisions, product liability, and premises liability, the firm has built a strong reputation for achieving exceptional results on behalf of its clients.
The firm is intentionally selective, maintaining a focused approach to complex, high-value litigation. Currently, the practice consists of a single attorney who serves as the firm's founder and lead trial lawyer.
Role Description
The firm is seeking an Associate Attorney for a full-time, on-site position. This role is intended for an attorney who has demonstrated academic and professional excellence and is prepared to apply those skills to demanding, high-stakes litigation.
The Associate will work directly alongside the firm's founder and lead trial attorney. This is not a document review or research-only position. From the outset, the Associate will have substantial involvement in significant personal injury and wrongful death matters, including depositions, trial preparation, and direct client representation, with a level of responsibility that is uncommon for attorneys at similar stages of their careers.
This opportunity is well-suited for someone who combines intellectual rigor with a strong work ethic and a high degree of personal accountability. The ideal candidate is proactive, self-directed, and capable of identifying and completing tasks without extensive supervision. They take ownership of their work, maintain high professional standards, and are committed to delivering outstanding results for clients.
Successful team members are characterized by their dedication to clients, quality of work, and commitment to contributing to the firm's long-term success. They are internally motivated, dependable, and invested in building something meaningful beyond a traditional legal practice.
Compensation
The firm's compensation structure is designed to reward outstanding performance and meaningful contributions to client outcomes. Attorneys who consistently exceed expectations and demonstrate a strong commitment to the firm's mission have the opportunity to earn compensation exceeding what may be available at significantly larger firms.
Qualifications
Required:
- Active license to practice law in Georgia and in good standing
- Strong academic record and demonstrated excellence in legal research and writing
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to manage a demanding and dynamic caseload with precision and independence
- Proficiency with AI tools, document management platforms, PDF software, and legal technology
- High standards, humility, and willingness to learn and grow professionally
