Lorna McGilvray Norton

Every project I work on requires me quickly to become a short-term expert in the particular subject matter involved, without having day-to-day involvement in the case.  For instance, over the years I've had to develop working knowledge of industrial and commercial woodworking machinery, SawStop flesh-detection technology, products liability defenses, electricity smart meters, corporate director and officer liability, federal sentencing guidelines, section 1983 claims, the Voting Rights Act, state and federal constitutional questions, and virtually every state and federal evidentiary and procedural issue and state common law claim imaginable. I thrive on the challenge of researching and organizing arguments efficiently so I can write intelligently and persuasively on our clients' claims or defenses.  

I research and draft trial court and appellate court briefs in virtually every type of commercial and business litigation matter our Atlanta office handles, from simple two-party breach of contract cases to highly complex matters involving multiple defendants asserting cross-claims and counterclaims and third-party claims.
