Litigation Associate Attorney

Location: Atlanta, GA (Buckhead area)

Work Arrangement: In-office 4 days per week

About the Firm

A well-established boutique litigation firm with a long-standing presence in the Atlanta market. The team is known for its strong client relationships, practical litigation approach, and supportive culture that values mentorship, professional development, and long-term stability.

The firm primarily represents clients in the property management, construction, and commercial sectors, maintaining steady growth and a loyal client base.

Position Overview

The firm is seeking a Litigation Associate to join its busy practice. This role offers meaningful courtroom experience, consistent client interaction, and a defined path for advancement within a collegial, mid-sized team environment.

You’ll manage a diverse caseload involving property-related disputes and collections matters while developing client and management company relationships.

Key Responsibilities

• Handle a caseload of approximately 250–300 matters (mix of active and dormant files)
• Manage litigation from start to finish, including pleadings, discovery, hearings, and garnishments
• Conduct court appearances and represent clients in high-volume settings
• Communicate directly with homeowners, clients, and opposing counsel
• Build and maintain relationships with property management companies and other referral sources
• Meet annual billable expectations (1,680 hours) while maintaining strong client service standards

Ideal Background

• 2–7 years of litigation experience preferred
• Attorneys from Solicitor, DA, or Public Defender offices are encouraged to apply — experience managing heavy caseloads and interacting with diverse parties translates well
• Backgrounds in bankruptcy, credit, or consumer collections litigation also align well
• Demonstrated tenure and commitment in prior roles; stability and professionalism are key
• Excellent communication and client relationship skills

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary plus annual performance-based bonus
• Health insurance coverage (firm-paid for employee)
• Annual bonus based on billed hours, origination, and overall contribution
• Clear growth track with exposure to a wide range of litigation matters

Work Environment

The pace varies week to week but remains consistently engaging and hands-on. Attorneys work closely with experienced partners and paralegals in a collaborative, team-oriented environment. Professionalism, calm communication, and client empathy are highly valued.

Why This Role

• Steady caseload and consistent courtroom experience
• Direct client contact and relationship-building opportunities
• Strong mentorship from seasoned litigators
• Genuine long-term career potential — several partners plan to retire in the next few years, opening advancement opportunities for high-performing associates
