Atlanta transactional attorneys were in demand in the first quarter of 2026 as firms worked to finish deals begun in late 2025 and prepare for new business expected through the rest of this year, according to local practice leaders and market observers, with one recruiter noting that local firms were under-resourced in their corporate practices.

Raj Nichani of Atlanta recruiting firm RMN Agency said he had seen a level of demand for corporate attorneys this year that didn’t exist in 2025.

“We’re really seeing [corporate] resonate and expect it to pop up now,” he said. “We didn’t see as much of that last year and now we’re really seeing that come to a head.”

“Deals are still getting done notwithstanding this turbulence and all of the risk that you see out there,” said Cal Smith of King & Spalding.

Barnes & Thornburg added a six-lawyer group from Bradley Arant Boult Cummings Thursday that deepens and complements tax and insurance recovery practices in two states and firmwide.

Two partners, Austin Bersinger and Matthew Hall, and senior associate David Sandefer joined the Am Law 100 firm’s insurance recovery group, while partners Jeffrey Luechtefeld, Sean Gannon and John Nail joined its tax practice.

Bersinger, Luechtefeld, Gannon, Nail and Sandefer are based in Atlanta, while Hall is in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The group from Bradley Arant follows a 12-lawyer insurance recovery group that joined in multiple offices earlier this month.

Georgia’s former state solicitor general has rejoined Jones Day as part of what the new partner said is part of a strategy to make the Am Law 50 firm “the appellate leader in Atlanta and beyond.”

Stephen Petrany joined Jones Day—where he previously practiced in its Washington, D.C., office—in the firm’s issues and appeals practice in Atlanta.

He said in an email that his addition is a strategic move by Jones Day, because it is “committed to and has strongly invested in its appellate practice in the Southeast,” which already includes former U.S. attorney and Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice David Nahmias and Jason Burnette, Tory Powell and Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld Bravo.

Also, a former BakerHostetler team leader moves to Nelson Mullins in Houston, and a Haynes & Boone government contracts pro joins Moore & Van Allen.

A vendor email landed in my inbox the other day. Normally I delete these without a second thought. This one stopped me.

It read, “Legal teams often get blamed for slowing things down — even when the real issue is unclear contract ownership.”

I read that line three times not because it was clever marketing copy but because it was true and because I have lived it.

When you own the process, you own every question, every delay, and every handoff that doesn't go smoothly.

I spend my days writing LinkedIn profiles and building personal brands for high-caliber general counsels, CEOs, and board members, as well as advising them on cultivating a strategic network for their next job search or landing a corporate board seat. I see things from many angles of the equation, including the executives and lawyers who want a strong LinkedIn profile presence, but are concerned about who to let into their network.

I want to warn you of an ongoing predatory practice that’s happening, and possibly without you even realizing it.

Extraction is not collaboration.

I just spent the past few days at the 2026 NALSC Annual Conference in New Orleans alongside more than 275 legal search consultants and Am Law 100 and 200 firm sponsors, the professionals at the center of how lawyers are evaluated, presented, and placed at law firms and in-house.

As one recruiter bluntly said, “I can tell an AI-generated resume from a mile away and it’s not getting the interview.” Another said, “I’m looking for something that shows me the candidate knows their story but doesn’t need five pages to convey it.”

Here’s what legal recruiters wish every lawyer knew about their resume, including what happens once recruiters receive your resume.

The resume is not the Cheesecake Factory menu.

Two former leaders of Taylor Duma who opened new law offices in Atlanta in the past year have reunited with more than a dozen attorneys from the firm after it shuttered Tuesday.

Am Law Second Hundred firm Offit Kurman announced Wednesday that it had brought on five attorneys as principals in its year-old Atlanta office previously opened by Joe English, a former name partner and founder of Taylor Duma.

Also Wednesday, nine attorneys—including another Taylor Duma named partner and founder, Scott Duma—joined Atlanta regional firm Ardis Law, which was opened by a former managing partner of their former firm in 2025.

Five more attorneys moved to Offit Kurman, while nine others joined Atlanta regional firm Ardis Law. Both firms have former Taylor Duma leaders at the head of their Atlanta operations.

A 14-lawyer intellectual property group on Wednesday moved from dissolving Taylor Duma to Atlanta-founded global firm Smith, Gambrell & Russell, while five other former Taylor Duma lawyers have landed at Phoenix-founded Fennemore Craig.

Jeff Kuester and John North joined Smith Gambrell as partners and led the group that included three associates, Delaney Berg, Arjay Parhar and Jamie Scherr; and nine counsels, including Hugh Barnhardt, Donald Boyle, Kenneth Bruley, Brad Czerwonky, Micheline Johnson, Randy King, Jeff K***z, Roberto Suarez and Tobias Tatum.

Of the 14 attorneys, 10 are based in Atlanta. K***z will work from Carlsbad, California; Parhar from Kirkland, Washington; and Johnson from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Suarez will be work in Smith Gambrell’s Miami office, a spokesperson said.

A 14-lawyer IP team is heading to Smith, Gambrell & Russell, while five other lawyers have moved to Fennemore Craig.

Moore & Van Allen will expand outside the Carolinas for the first time in its seven-decade history when it opens in Atlanta by April 1 as it moves to serve existing Southeast clients while recruiting for lawyers in a new market.

The Am Law Second Hundred firm signed a lease for a 3,000-square-foot space—with expansion rights—in the 3630 Peachtree building in the Buckhead area of north Atlanta. It will open with up to 10 financial services attorneys but plans to add more to establish a full-service office, said chair and managing partner Thomas Mitchell.

“Part of our strategic plan is to recruit throughout the Southeast,” Mitchell said in an interview. “We have the need to grow in our core practice areas and Atlanta is a great market for us to add lawyers.”

“As the firm has grown (and) as our client base has grown, this is the next logical move for us in the Southeast,” said managing partner Thomas Mitchell.

An NLJ 500-ranked law firm in New Jersey is strengthening its footprint in the Southeast by following an "excellent and high-performing" lawyer to Georgia.

On Monday, Brach Eichler, based in Roseland, New Jersey, opened its new office in Alpharetta, Georgia, located about 30 miles north of Atlanta. Managing member John D. Fanburg explained the firm’s move to the Peach State began when one of its partners, Eric Magnelli, and his family relocated to the Atlanta region one year ago.

“Unlike in some of these moves where law firms will expand to address client needs and client moves and client relocation, we did this really in response to maintaining our relationship with an excellent and high-performing lawyer,” Fanburg said. “We’ll kind of slow-roll it and give him the time, resources, and people to continue to expand his client base, both here in New Jersey and Georgia.”

The firm is building the new office around Magnelli’s practice areas, including labor and employment, environment and land use, and litigation.

“Unlike in some of these moves where law firms will expand to address client needs and client moves and client relocation, we did this really in response to maintaining our relationship with an excellent and high-performing lawyer,” a managing member of the firm said.
