Atlanta Junior General Liability Associate

We are looking for an Associate Attorney with 2-4 years of civil defense litigation experience to join Lydecker's growing Atlanta office and handle a full caseload of general liability matters.

Managing a full caseload of premises liability, personal injury, and general liability defense matters (15+ cases at once)

Drafting and responding to motions, complaints, and written discovery

Attending and defending depositions, court hearings, and client meetings

Assisting with preparation for mediations and trials

Working under partner supervision with increasing autonomy as you prove yourself

Key Requirements

Active Georgia bar license in good standing

Associate: 2-4 years of civil defense litigation experience (general liability, bodily injury, premises liability, or similar)

Experience at a defense-side firm handling similar work (e.g., Hall Booth Smith, Swift Currie, Lewis Brisbois, or comparable)

Self-motivated with strong client communication skills and ability to work independently
