At Hawk Injury Law, we believe exceptional legal representation starts with putting people first. Based in Macon and serving clients throughout Georgia, we stand alongside individuals and families during some of life’s most difficult moments, providing the guidance, support, and strong advocacy they need to move forward.

Led by attorney Jon Hawk, the firm brings 29 years of experience to personal injury and wrongful death matters, including car and truck accidents, product liability, and serious injuries. Everything we do is rooted in a commitment to excellence, clear and compassionate communication, and treating every client with the respect and personal attention they deserve.

We are seeking a dedicated Litigation Attorney to join our team in Macon, Georgia. This role is essential in expanding our capacity to deliver top-tier advocacy and achieve outstanding outcomes for our clients.

As a Litigation Attorney, you will play a key role in supporting the firm's personal injury practice through legal research, writing, discovery, case strategy, and litigation. Depending on your experience and strengths, the role may include increasing responsibility for depositions, courtroom proceedings, and trials. You will work closely with the firm’s lead attorney, receiving hands-on mentorship while taking on greater responsibility and autonomy as you develop within the firm.

What you’ll do:

• Litigation Management: Support and progressively take ownership of personal injury matters from inception through resolution, driving cases forward as your experience, capabilities, and autonomy grow.
• Research & Motion Practice: Take an active role in legal research, discovery, and motion practice, including drafting briefs and motions, supporting depositions, and building well-prepared cases.
• Client Communication: Build trusted relationships with clients through clear, compassionate communication, keeping them informed, managing expectations, and providing thoughtful guidance throughout the legal process.
• Trial Preparation & Participation: Prepare cases for trial and actively participate in trial proceedings, taking on increasing responsibility from supporting and second-chair roles toward first-chair responsibilities over time.
• Team & Firm Collaboration: Contribute as an engaged member of a close-knit team, supporting colleagues and broader firm initiatives including marketing, educational content, community involvement, and firm development.

What we’re looking for:  

• Legal Experience: Juris Doctor required, with Georgia Bar admission preferred. Candidates awaiting admission may also be considered, with approximately 2-10 years of litigation experience preferred. Federal court admission is preferred; candidates who are not yet admitted should be willing to obtain admission.
• Research and Writing: Demonstrates strong legal research and writing skills, with the ability to produce thoughtful, well-supported briefs, motions, and other legal documents.
• Litigation Skills: Brings experience or demonstrated aptitude in discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial preparation, with a willingness to continue developing across these areas.
• Client Service: Communicates with professionalism, clarity, and compassion while maintaining the high standards of service expected throughout the client relationship.
• Teamwork & Coachability: Works collaboratively, welcomes hands-on mentorship and constructive feedback, and is willing to learn and adopt the firm’s established processes.
• Ownership & Judgment: Brings strong judgment, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to the work, taking accountability for quality and demonstrating increasing ownership as responsibilities grow.
• On-Site Engagement: Thrives in an in-office role where collaboration and direct engagement with colleagues are integral to success. The role is based in Macon, Georgia, with relocation considered for the right candidate.

Why you should work here:  

• Hands-On Mentorship: Learn directly from an experienced trial attorney who is deeply invested in teaching, with close guidance and feedback designed to help you become a stronger, more well-rounded attorney.
• Meaningful Litigation Experience: For an attorney eager to build real litigation skills, this role offers substantive exposure to depositions, courtroom proceedings, and trials, with the opportunity to develop toward second-chair and first-chair capability.
• Long-Term Professional Growth: This role is designed for someone who wants to keep developing throughout their career, with continued learning, increasing autonomy, and the opportunity to take on substantially greater responsibility over time.
• Close-Knit Environment: Join a collaborative, team-oriented firm where communication, mutual respect, and high-quality work matter, and where you can build a career as an integral part of the team rather than simply filling another associate seat.

Additional perks:

• Health & Wellness Benefits: Support your health and well-being with a benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Retirement Benefits: Invest in your long-term financial future with a firm-supported 401(k) retirement plan.
