Associate Attorney

We are partnered with a full-service Georgia law firm on a search for a Junior Associate to support its Local Government and Real Estate practices in metro Atlanta. This is a great opportunity for an attorney from a high-volume litigation background who wants a more focused and complex practice with substantive responsibilities and client contact.

You’ll work alongside experienced attorneys on matters that include:

• Representing cities, counties, and local governments as city attorney, county attorney, or special counsel
• Civil rights and constitutional claims, tort defense, and employment matters
• Zoning, land use, planning, and condemnation and eminent domain
• Contract negotiation and municipal code drafting
• Litigation support across these areas, including research, drafting, discovery, and motion practice

We're seeking an attorney who is ready to move from high-volume case handling to more specialized, complex work and interest in local government or real estate (prior exposure is a plus but not required).

• 1,800 billable requirement
• Firm-paid professional liability insurance, Georgia bar dues, and CLE costs
