Overview Title: Litigation Associate : Personal Injury & Wrongful DeathSalary: $140,000 – 175,000 annually, depending on experienceAbout Bowen Painter Injury Lawyers As a trial firm founded by W. Andrew Bowen and Paul W. Painter III, we have spent 20+ years trying personal injury and wrongful death cases across Georgia, South Carolina, and beyond. Our results speak for themselves: an $18 million medical malpractice verdict (the largest injury verdict in Chatham County history), a $21.3 million trucking verdict ranked among the nation's Top 10 Most Impressive Plaintiff Verdicts of 2025, and a 2026 victory before the U.S. Supreme Court. Our Partners hold leadership positions in state and national organizations such as the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, the State Bar of Georgia, the American Association for Justice, and the Injury Board. We are selective about cases and selective about people. We keep our caseload limited so every client gets serious attention, and we invest heavily in the attorneys who do the work — mentorship from Partners who are actively trying cases, a professional development budget, and real trial experience in your career. If you want to be in a courtroom, not simply behind a desk reviewing files, this is the firm.We are looking for an Associate who wants to try cases—not just work them up for someone else. You will carry your own caseload, take and defend depositions, draft and argue motions, and work alongside named Partners through trial preparation and into the courtroom. This is a high-autonomy, high-mentorship role: you will have direct client contact from day one, and Partners who are actively trying cases will be in the trenches with you, not handing you files from a corner office.
