The Lawyers’ Lawyer: Strategic General Counsel for Law Firms
Law Firm GC is a unique and specialized legal practice located in Atlanta, Georgia, dedicated exclusively to representing other lawyers and law firms. Founded by Jonathan E. Hawkins, a visionary attorney who recognized that law firms are businesses with their own complex legal needs, this firm serves as ‘General Counsel’ to the legal industry.
