Litigation Associate

Overview

JUNIOR LITIGATION ASSOCIATE (2–5+ YEARS) — ATLANTA, GA

Our client, a boutique litigation firm based in Atlanta, handles sophisticated and complex litigation matters for Fortune 100 and 500 companies across aviation, insurance defense, motor carrier liability, and complex commercial disputes. The firm represents major carriers, corporate entities, and airport-related clients in high-stakes matters nationwide. Known for its substantive work and lean team structure, the firm provides attorneys with meaningful responsibility and direct involvement in all phases of litigation.

Due to continued growth and increasing caseload, the firm is seeking two junior litigation associates to join its expanding team.

This opportunity is ideal for a sharp, detail-oriented litigator seeking hands-on courtroom experience and long-term professional growth. Associates will work closely with experienced litigators on complex, high-value matters involving aviation (Delta, Southwest, Alaska, and others), insurance coverage, and corporate (Coca-Cola bottling and Coke subsidiaries, etc.) defense litigation. The role offers significant exposure to deposition work, motion practice, and hearings, providing associates with the opportunity to develop real litigation experience rather than document review–focused responsibilities.

Very open to candidates who are wanting to get back into a litigation practice and open to HYBRID & SEMI-REMOTE, depending on experience, etc.
