About Sugarman Law

Located directly on the Atlanta Beltline, we work in a creative, open space in a collaborative, largely paperless environment. Our focused practice spans trust and estate litigation and business litigation, and we pride ourselves on delivering sophisticated, high-quality representation with the personalized attention only a boutique firm can provide.

The Role

We are seeking an Experienced Litigator to join our growing team. The ideal candidate brings at least four years of litigation experience and is ready to take on substantive responsibility from day one. You will manage complex cases, work closely with clients, and play an active role in shaping litigation strategy across our core practice areas.

• Manage a caseload of trust & estate and business litigation matters from inception through resolution
• Draft and argue motions, pleadings, briefs, and other court filings
• Conduct depositions, hearings, and trials
• Develop and execute litigation strategy in collaboration with colleagues

• Conduct legal research and analysis on complex issues

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active membership in the Georgia State Bar (or eligibility for admission)
• 2+ years of litigation experience, (a plus if in trust & estate or business litigation)
• Strong written and oral advocacy skills
• Proven ability to manage complex litigation independently
• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills
• Client-focused mindset with strong interpersonal communication

Preferred Experience

• Experience in probate court and fiduciary litigation
• Familiarity with Georgia trust and estate law
• Experience in commercial disputes, partnership matters, or business torts

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation: $150,000–$180,000 , commensurate with experience
• No billable hour requirement – performance is measured by quality of work, not number of hours billed
• Collaborative, collegial work environment
• High-quality, substantive casework with real responsibility
