Morgan & Morgan Is Seeking a Business Trial Attorney

We are looking for an experienced Trial Attorney to join our Business Trial Group in Atlanta or Nashville, working directly alongside the group’s Co-Managing Chair.

Why This Role Is Different

Most business litigators spend their careers billing hours for clients who pay by the hour, and most businesses wronged by a breach of contract or professional negligence never get their day in court because they can’t afford to pursue it. We changed that. The Business Trial Group represents plaintiffs only, and only on a contingency fee basis. There are no billable hours and no busy work. We don’t just work to work. We work to win. That’s why our attorneys try multiple cases to verdict each year and win about 90% of their jury verdicts.

This is a ground-floor opportunity. You’ll bring your trial skills and judgment to a growing market, with the autonomy to run your cases your way and a role in building our presence in it. You’ll have the backing of the nation’s largest plaintiffs’ firm, a dedicated paralegal, and a small, close-knit team of about 16 attorneys that few firms can match. We are one of very few firms in the country that take on this type of case on a contingency basis, so the work is distinctive, the cases are high-value, and the opportunity to make your mark is real.

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll report to the Co-Managing Chair of the Business Trial Group, a Board-Certified Specialist in Civil Trial Law who has first-chaired multiple trials and recovered tens of millions of dollars for business clients through jury verdicts and settlements. His practice focuses on professional liability claims (legal, accounting, auditor, and engineering malpractice) and commission disputes, backed by years of experience handling complex commercial cases from inception through verdict in state and federal trial courts and on appeal. Recognized repeatedly by Florida Super Lawyers as a “Rising Star” and by Florida Trend as one of “Florida’s Legal Elite,” he built his practice on the belief that access to the civil justice system shouldn’t depend on the ability to pay hourly fees. You’ll learn from and work alongside a trial lawyer who has done exactly that.

Where We Are Hiring

This position is based in our Atlanta or Nashville office. We will also consider strong candidates based in New York.

An Invitation

If you’ve spent your career billing hours for defendants and wondered what it would look like to switch sides, this is your invitation. If you’re already a plaintiffs lawyer looking for a platform with more resources and more control, we want to hear from you. And if you’re a trial lawyer who has always wanted to build something of your own with a firm’s resources behind you, let’s talk.

At Morgan & Morgan, business trial work is not a side practice. It’s a group built on winning, and we’re growing it.
