Careers

SWF is committed to growth. Each year we look for a select number of outstanding individuals to join us - and grow with us - for the long-term. We seek talented individuals dedicated to excellence and willing to go the extra mile for our clients. 

Our attorneys are excited to be part of SWF - and for good reason. SWF offers a unique opportunity: practicing law at a sophisticated level for diverse clients while enjoying the resources, benefits and culture of an entrepreneurial, mid-sized firm. Consequently, we have developed uncommon legal expertise across a wide range of practice areas. We provide our lawyers an opportunity to build a rewarding professional career within a supportive and informal environment. 

Hiring Philosophy
Our people are our greatest asset. SWF’s goal is to hire, train, mentor, nurture and retain exceptional legal talent to expand our client service capabilities. We hire consistently year to year to meet long-term projections, not erratically with the intention of 'weeding out' associates. Our focus is on helping our associates acquire the skills and experience to immediately serve client needs, achieve eminence in targeted practice areas, identify new client opportunities and ultimately become successful partners in our firm.

Stability and Prosperity
We believe SWF’s stability and prosperity are unmatched in Atlanta. In 1974, our founders established solid core values and culture based on collaboration, sharing and learning. Today, SWF is comprised of diverse individuals committed to the highest level of client service and professionalism. We cultivate and encourage a secure, relaxed, open environment. Many of our attorneys have been with the firm for all of their professional careers. 

Summer Associate Program
Our summer associate program offers law students an opportunity to experience the SWF culture first hand, working with, learning from and getting to know each of our attorneys. The program is designed to give students a real world, in-the-trenches appreciation for practicing law in Atlanta. We quickly immerse summer associates into the daily functions of the firm, including direct client contact, meaningful research, and closings, hearings and trial attendance. We believe this opportunity imparts unique insight into the nuances of the law and is arguably more advanced than many other programs.

Commitment to Diversity
SWF values and appreciates individuals from diverse backgrounds and experience. The firm is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees. It is our belief that diversity fosters a rich and positive environment where everyone can work and grow together. Individuals are recognized solely on their merit and personal contributions.
