Litigation Associate Attorney

About the job Litigation Associate Attorney
Litigation Attorney - General Liability & Professional Liability Defense
Prestigious boutique law firm in Dunwoody, GA.
Location: Georgia
Experience: 2-6 years
Status: Full-Time | Partnership Track
Why This Role Stands Out
If you're a litigator who wants real responsibility, courtroom experience, and a long-term career path, this is not a back-office defense role. You will handle high-stakes matters from inception through trial and appeal, work directly with experienced partners, and develop the skills needed to eventually build your own book of business.
Our client invests in their attorneys. Their goal is partnership-not burnout or turnover.
