Law Firm Overview

Like the region it serves, Paul Hastings' Atlanta office continues to diversify and grow. Whether based in the Southeast United States or simply conducting business there, large domestic, foreign and international companies seek our services based not just on the strength of our regional relationships, but also our international reach, which is far broader than the local focus employed by many of our competitors. Our Corporate practice offers integrated services on a variety of complex transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, securities and compliance, bankruptcy and lending, as well as strategic alliances, franchising, distribution, and licensing. Our Atlanta office is home to one of the finest Employment Law practices in the country. It also features an outstanding Litigation team, with trial lawyers who are recognized leaders in securities class actions, entertainment and product liability. In addition, our Real Estate practice handles finance, development, leasing and management, while also counseling corporate clients with respect to asset and portfolio management, acquisitions, dispositions, and financing. Finally, linking our real estate and corporate groups, our Tax practice provides crucial advice for clients who are looking for a foothold in the Sunbelt. From telecommunications, media and energy to retail and forest products, our full service practice handles a wide-ranging client roster-a reflection of our broad reach in one of the largest metro regions in the United States.
