Job Description

Join Tyson & Mendes – Where Insurance Defense Meets Innovation

Please note : An active bar license in the State of Georgia is required.

We are seeking an experienced attorney to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will be licensed in Georgia (required) and Florida (preferred). Candidates local to the Atlanta area are encouraged to apply, though we are open to fully remote attorneys with relevant experience.

At Tyson & Mendes, we're more than a national litigation firm—we're a force for change in insurance defense and trial advocacy. Known for our cutting-edge approach and bold mission to stop Nuclear Verdicts®, we set the standard for results-driven representation across the country.

As we continue our nationwide growth, we're seeking accomplished senior attorneys who bring courtroom confidence, leadership, and a passion for strategy. If you're ready to make a lasting impact on clients, cases, and the legal industry, this is your moment.

Why Tyson & Mendes?

  • Lead with Purpose – Step into a senior role where your voice matters and your decisions shape outcomes. We empower our senior counsel with autonomy, trust, and the tools to lead high-exposure cases.
  • Growth Built In – With our nationally recognized trial academy, ongoing executive-level development, and a firm culture that promotes from within, your next step forward is already in motion.
  • Stability + Agility – Join a firm with national reach, financial strength, and a collaborative, no-silos mindset. We move with purpose—and you won't get lost in the shuffle.
  • Inclusive by Design – Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is more than a policy—it's a practice that drives innovation, strengthens teams, and delivers better results.
  • Flexible, Performance-Focused Work – Office, hybrid, or remote—we value outcomes over facetime. Your work style should support your best work.

Who You Are

You are a seasoned litigator with a defense mindset, respected by clients and colleagues for your strategic thinking, courtroom presence, and ethical leadership.
