Litigation Associate Attorney— Logistics, Energy & Manufacturing Litigation Group

A nationally recognized litigation practice is seeking a litigation associate with at least three years of experience to join its Logistics, Energy, and Manufacturing Litigation Group in Atlanta. This group represents transportation, logistics, energy, and manufacturing clients in high-stakes, fast-moving litigation across federal and state courts nationwide. The docket is active and varied, ranging from single-vehicle claims to complex, multi-party litigation with significant exposure.

This is an opportunity to take on substantive responsibility early — first-chairing depositions, arguing motions, and managing case strategy directly with clients — within a firm that has built a national reputation defending transportation and logistics companies.

Practice Group Overview

The Logistics, Energy, and Manufacturing Litigation Group defends clients across the transportation, trucking, energy, and manufacturing sectors in matters involving:

Catastrophic and wrongful death claims arising from trucking and transportation accidents

General tort and personal injury defense

Products liability and manufacturing defect claims

Insurance coverage disputes and declaratory judgment actions

Regulatory and compliance matters under FMCSA and related transportation regulations

Cargo, logistics, and supply chain disputes

Attorneys in this group work closely with corporate risk management teams, insurers, and in-house counsel to manage litigation portfolios, often overseeing matters in multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.

What You'll Do

Manage an active caseload of tort, transportation, and insurance coverage matters from intake through resolution

Take and defend depositions of parties, fact witnesses, and experts

Draft and argue dispositive and non-dispositive motions

Conduct written discovery and manage e-discovery processes

Develop case strategy in coordination with senior attorneys and clients, including motor carriers, insurers, and logistics companies

Attend mediations, hearings, and trials; assist with trial preparation

Communicate directly with clients on case status, strategy, and risk assessment

Qualifications

Minimum of three years of litigation experience, preferably in transportation, trucking, or motor carrier defense

Experience with tort litigation, insurance coverage disputes, or products liability strongly preferred

Hands-on experience with depositions, discovery, and motion practice required

Strong academic credentials from an accredited law school

Excellent legal research, writing, and analytical skills

Sound judgment, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple matters independently

Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively within a team-based practice

Active admission to the Georgia Bar required — no exceptions

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive base salary, commensurate with experience and market

Full benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance

Group term life and disability insurance

401(k) retirement plan with retirement planning services

Generous paid time off

Free wellness and mental health resources

Billable hour target of approximately 1,800 hours annually, with pro bono work counting toward the target

Strong track record of associate retention and long-term career development; the firm has been recognized as a certified Great Place to Work

Firm Culture

This is a full-service firm with a national platform and a collaborative, team-oriented culture. Individual contributions are recognized rather than absorbed into a large, siloed structure, and the firm places a strong emphasis on mentorship and hands-on associate development — particularly within litigation groups, where associates are given early exposure to depositions, motion practice, and direct client contact rather than being confined to document review.
