Complex Business Litigation Associate – More Autonomy + Work-Life Balance

A nationally recognized Am Law 200 law firm is seeking a Litigation Associate attorney with 3–5 years of experience to join their Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice in their Atlanta office.

The ideal candidate will have strong complex business litigation skills, litigation experience in employment and/or real estate is a plus. Successful candidates will have strong writing skills and academic background. Clerkship experience is also a plus.

The Litigation team is recognized for...

• Handling complex commercial litigation and high-stakes disputes.
• Giving associates early responsibility, direct client contact, and meaningful litigation experience.
• Representing sophisticated clients across a wide range of industries.
• Collaborative, business-focused team known for exceptional client service.
• Advising clients across a broad range of industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, energy, and professional services
• Taking a practical, business-oriented approach while maintaining a strong trial and litigation platform

What makes this different...

• Sophisticated, national-caliber litigation work within a more focused platform than many mega-firm environments
• An Atlanta-centered firm presence, where the local office is central to the platform rather than a satellite outpost
• An 1,850 billable hour requirement supporting stronger work-life balance than many traditional BigLaw alternatives
• A flexible hybrid schedule in a collegial, team-oriented environment
• Direct client interaction, close partner access, and meaningful hands-on experience earlier than many peer firms
