Holt Ney Zatcoff & Wasserman, LLP - Atlanta, GA

Premier Commercial Real Estate and Litigation Boutique

Big Firm Expertise, Small Firm Attention

Holt Ney Zatcoff & Wasserman, LLP (HNZW) is a highly respected boutique law firm located in the Galleria area of Atlanta. Founded in 1984 by partners from a large regional firm, HNZW was established with a specific vision: to provide the sophisticated legal expertise of a large corporate practice within a more responsive and cost-effective small firm environment. For decades, they have successfully executed this vision, earning a reputation as one of the go-to firms in the Southeast for commercial real estate and complex litigation. The firm represents a prestigious roster of clients, including real estate investment trusts (REITs), developers, national retailers, and major corporations. They are known for their practical, deal-making approach to transactions and their aggressive, strategic approach to litigation.

The firm's core strength lies in Commercial Real Estate, where they handle the entire lifecycle of property development, from acquisition and zoning to leasing and financing. They have played a legal role in shaping much of the Atlanta skyline and its surrounding suburbs. HNZW is also a recognized leader in Eminent Domain law, representing property owners whose land is being taken by the government for public projects. Their litigation team is equally formidable, handling high-stakes business disputes, tax appeals, and partnership conflicts. By keeping their team lean and focused, Holt Ney Zatcoff & Wasserman ensures that clients work directly with senior attorneys who have decades of experience, rather than being passed off to junior associates.
