From the Land of Peach Trees
Hawkins Parnell & Young was founded in 1963 in Atlanta, GA. The firm is primarily a litigation shop, concentrating on high-risk trial and appellate work at the state and federal levels for clients ranging from small local businesses to national corporations. Hawkins Parnell & Young clients have included Union Carbide, Bayer, Monsanto, National Car Rental, Abbott Laboratories, and the Atlantic Richfield Company.
Focus on Litigation
While Hawkins Parnell & Young is known for its work in areas such as product liability, toxic tort, professional negligence, construction litigation, legal malpractice, premises liability and governmental liability, one of the firm's most highly regarded sub-specialties is likely its medical malpractice unit, which features a team of registered nurses who serve as medical consultants and witnesses. In its decades of practice, the firm has litigated hundreds of medical malpractice cases and served as lead counsel in well over 1,000 fact and expert depositions.
Beyond medical malpractice, the firm's successes have included fending off legal malpractice and fraud charges for an attorney client, securing dismissal for a product liability suit claiming that various automotive products had caused a plaintiff's lung cancer and successfully defending clients in mesothelioma and wrongful death cases.
