Southeastern Legal Awards

The Southeastern Legal Awards honor attorneys who excel in their profession and “have left an indelible mark on the legal community in the southeast and beyond through their unwavering dedication to the profession.”

The “On the Rise” Award recognizes those under the age of 40 who are innovators, develop unique practice niches, amass robust books of business, demonstrate strong leadership qualities, show expertise in litigation or transactional work, and commit themselves to pro bono charitable, and professional volunteer work.

Originally called the Georgia Legal Awards, they now cover more areas, including North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. This change shows that legal excellence is being recognized all across the region.

The honorees will be celebrated at an event in Atlanta and will be featured in a special section on Law.com. Join us in congratulating all 2024 On The Rise Honorees!
