ABOUT US

For more than four decades, Best Lawyers lists have been compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for inclusion in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain on the list for each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be included on our lists.

Best

In order to collect feedback on firm and attorney work within specific regions, Best Lawyers curates “metro areas.” For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions—metro areas—to help us collect as much feedback and data for specific individuals, firms, and practice areas as possible. We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.

Heather Clauson Haughian

Privacy and Data Security Law Atlanta, GA

Since 1998, Heather Clauson Haughian has worked as a full-time privacy and data security attorney, focusing her practice on complex technology, data privacy, security-related legal issues and counseling clients on intellectual property rights. Fully IAPP certified, Haughian advises corporate clients on cybersecurity issues such as high-level data breach response and mitigation. In 2013, Haughian acted as one of four co-founding members of Culhane Meadows PLLC, currently the largest woman-owned, nationally offered, full-service law firm in the country, where she now serves as the firm’s chief technology officer (CTO). Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2019, Haughian is currently being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Privacy and Data Security Law in Atlanta for 2023.

When asked about her most recent work, Haughian stated: “I recently negotiated a technology licensing agreement that included a vast number of privacy and data security issues that truly required an in-depth knowledge of not only the regulations and current best practices but also a strong technical background. Because the opposing counsel was so knowledgeable in these areas, we were able to close the deal much faster than expected. That same opposing counsel that I had negotiated against on that deal referred their client to me on a similar transaction when their firm was conflicted out of that matter. That referral from opposing counsel felt like such an accomplishment to me as it was a huge compliment to know I had developed that kind of rapport with an attorney I had just negotiated against and that the opposing counsel had an equal respect for my knowledge base as well.” Haughian noted that she believes this kind of success led to her recognition.

With nearly 30 years of legal experience, Haughian has extensive knowledge of IT, transaction outsourcing and corporate software licensing deals. In addition to advising clients on ongoing cybersecurity matters, Haughian regularly counsels clients and vendors on compliance with HIPAA/HITECH as a business process and how to handle ePHI negotiations and agreements.

“My area of law is very technical in nature, and my clients always appreciate that I can decipher what the technical aspects of the privacy and data security regulations are and how best practices in data security can differ so greatly depending on the specific type of technology involved. It’s never a one-size-fits-all when it comes to privacy and data security, and understanding the ‘why’ behind that helps me understand how best to advise my clients and how to negotiate deals for them.”

Last year, Haughian and her firm were honored by the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF), a nonprofit trade association founded in 2001 meant to offer support to both minority and women-owned law firms throughout the U.S. Haughian and her firm received the NAMWOLF Law Firm MVP Award, which is given to one member of a specific law firm for their achievements and efforts to promote both diversity and inclusion within the field of law.

“This award meant a great deal to me and to my firm, knowing that NAMWOLF’s members, business partners and corporate sponsors recognize the importance of having diverse and inclusive legal teams to help solve the problems facing corporate America today—a mission that our law firm also shares,” Haughian concluded.

IN THE LAW

The Corporate Push for Renewable Utilities in Georgia

By Gregory Sirico

IN A NATIONWIDE EFFORT led by the big tech sector, numerous Georgia-based corporations are pushing for state lawmakers to further solar power production. This includes development and legislation, challenging many utility providers to keep up with increased demands. Major companies such as Meta, Amazon and Google, which require an almost seismic amount of energy to continue operating daily, are spearheading the corporate charge for solar energy expansion to reduce overall emissions and meet newly implemented environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) standards. Additionally, with the cost per solar panel at a record low, this recent surge in solar energy was all but inevitable.

A decade ago, corporate demands for solar energy, and the market with it, were controlled and determined by mostly big box retailers and other corporate entities with stores in need of rooftop panels and other solar devices. Today, things are vastly different when discussing the current state of energy, in both scale and intention. Major corporations, including the tech giants mentioned above, require an expansive network of off-site solar plants or wind farms that continually work to offset the massive amount of energy required to operate data centers, office buildings and factories efficiently.

In the Southern region of the U.S., where utilities such as coal or natural gas still reign supreme, this new shift in corporate demand for environmentally conscientious renewables could put a heavy strain on pre-existing power grids that require dire upgrades. With that, the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukraine War brought a bevy of supply chain issues that resulted in global trade disputes, further stalling future solar construction projects. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), a national trade association dedicated to researching the solar industry, Georgia is the

country’s eighth most populated state and is currently ranked seventh in total solar capacity required, with about 4,500 megawatts of solar energy needed to successfully power the state.

On January 11, Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp announced that Qcells, a globally recognized renewable energy solutions company, is prepared to invest roughly $2.5 billion to upgrade and expand solar module manufacturing networks around the state. “I am honored to announce the growth of Qcells in Georgia for a second time in less than a year. With a focus on innovation and technology, Georgia continues to set itself apart as the No. 1 state for business. Combined with our robust logistics infrastructure, top-ranked workforce training program and collaborative approach, Georgia provides a business-friendly environment that means jobs for hardworking Georgians in every corner of the state and success for both existing and new companies. We’re excited for Qcells’ continued success in the Peach State,” stated Kemp in a post on the official state website. Additionally, Qcells and the State Energy Program (SEP) plan on building a new solar energy facility in Cartersville, which is expected to create more than 2,500 new jobs in northwest Georgia. State lawmakers and administrations on both sides of the aisle have long aimed to reduce outsourced energy reliance with hopes of bolstering domestic solar efforts. Slowly but surely, the Inflation Reduction Act, which offers an Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar, wind and other renewable energy facilities constructed before December 31, 2025, will attract the attention of future investors looking to compete with other corporate entities making the switch toward renewable energy.

ADAMS AND REESE Ron C. Bingham II, John A. Thomson, Jr.

ADAM MALONE knows that impact is not always measured by a monetary recovery. For years, his presence outside the courtroom has strengthened the profession through sharing knowledge, which has ultimately helped protect society at large.

“As a trial lawyer, my first priority is, of course, to secure the best possible result for my clients,” says Malone, who in 2016 was named the Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs in Atlanta. “But I love my profession and feel compelled to give back to local and legal communities. Volunteering has proven to be the most effective way to provide support at the local, state and national levels, as well to other lawyers practicing in the area of catastrophic injury and wrongful death.”

Malone certainly walks the walk when it comes to contributing to the profession, and 2023 marks the culmination of some influential positions he has held beyond his role as the lead partner at Malone Law.

THE GEORGIA TRIAL LAWYERS ASSOCIATION

Malone has been an active member of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (GTLA) for decades. In this organization, he builds relationships with peers and works with the entire membership to help strengthen their relationships in the legislature to better protect local communities and ensure that everyday citizens, Georgia families and small businesses are never deprived of their constitutional guarantee of trial by jury and access to independent and impartial courts.

He was named President of GTLA in 2022, and before his term concludes in 2023, he will have achieved various goals, including driving diversity engagement and boosting overall membership. Malone led the rejuvenation of the minority and women’s caucuses by involving the right people in leadership and providing new and enhanced educational offerings, which ensured a broader range of perspectives would be reflected in GTLA

Leadership and Commitment

Malone Law leader and 2016 Best Lawyers® Medical Malpractice Law –Plaintiffs “Lawyer of the Year” Adam Malone discusses how his success transcends the courtroom and helps strengthen public and legal communities.

initiatives and actions. Furthermore, Malone’s leadership helped increase membership by more than 300 so far, and along with the excellent GTLA staff, accomplished all of this without raising membership dues.

“Supporting the mission of GTLA has been a part of Malone Law and its mission for more than 50 years,” Malone says. “It is my hope that all Georgia trial lawyers representing people who have been devastated by preventable injury or death will join our efforts to stop one-sided policies that allow wrongdoers to escape legal responsibility for the harm they cause.”

reflective of the regular, hardworking people the group represents.

“I feel confident future AAJ leaders will carry on the critical work we began this past year,” Malone says. “More importantly, they are better prepared to represent and achieve the deep and empathetic connections which are so necessary to properly understand and represent the severely injured.”

COVID-19 JUDICIAL TASK FORCE

Malone is one of a few lawyers selected to serve on the COVID-19 Judicial Task Force for the Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, which he joined after its formation in 2020. While the rest of the world came to a screeching halt, the work of this Task Force helped keep litigation moving forward for the work which must be done outside the courthouse and helped guide courts to keep cases moving forward safely inside the courthouse.

The task force continues to adapt new judicial guidelines to tackle the pandemic and has begun preparedness plans for other potential threats of similar scale and magnitude.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR JUSTICE

The American Association for Justice (AAJ) is the nation’s largest organization for lawyers representing the injured. Joining the group was a natural fit for Malone, who for years served on its Board of Governors and its Executive Committee

As one of the leading practitioners in the area of pediatric and adult brain injuries, Malone’s contributions and willingness to share knowledge have proved invaluable. He was named Chair of the AAJ’s Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group in 2021. During his term, which completed in 2022, Malone organized and led several educational programs, including a multiday legal summit in Atlanta and attended by the most prestigious lawyers and subject matter experts in the United States.

He also set in motion another key initiative of— establishing a diversity committee —to attract and retain a membership and leadership more

“The courts’ resilience in the past three years can be attributed to the leadership of Justice Shawn LaGrua and the Judicial Council,” Malone says. “We are certainly more forward-thinking now and will continue to lead efforts to ensure that the state’s judicial system remains adaptable.”

Though his participation will continue in the aforementioned groups in whatever capacity requested, Malone plans on remaining engaged and bringing new knowledge back to his office as well as courtrooms.

“Between advances in technology or updates to the law, there is always something to learn from participating in legal groups like GLTA, AAJ, and the State Bar,” Malone notes. “Malone Law believes in giving more than it gets. By giving our knowledge, time, and talent, our clients have always ultimately reaped the greatest benefit.”

Staying in business, for many, is not an easy feat. Factor in the characteristics of being minority-owned and the odds for success and longevity become greatly minimized. But when legal eagles John L. Kennedy, Reuben T. Bussey Jr., and Thomas G. Sampson combined their expertise and vision for greatness in the fall of 1971, they laid the foundation for what would inevitably become one of the most accomplished and admirable law firms in the world. With meticulous skill and honorable pride, Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins, LLP (TKST) represents an array of clients ranging from some of the world’s largest companies to everyday people seeking justice. Fortune 500 Corporations routinely seek out TKST when faced with seven figure exposure. TKST has also garnered numerous seven figure and several eight figure verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients seeking justice. The firm’s practice areas include wrongful death, civil rights, medical malpractice, product liability, negligent security, and trucking accidents. A retrospective look at its tremendous undertakings over the past 50 years reflects nothing less than a laudatory legacy of excellence.

Many accolades have been bestowed upon TKST. The firm has been ranked Tier One by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” in the Atlanta metro for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Defendants for 2021. The firm has also earned an AV Preeminent® rating by MartindaleHubbell for 25 consecutive years. Each partner (Thomas G. Sampson, Jeffrey E. Tompkins, and Woody Sampson) has been included in The Best Lawyers in America® for 2021 in the practice area of personal injury litigation, as well as Georgia Super Lawyers. Tom Sampson has been honored as a Legal Legend by the National Bar Association, which inducted him into its Hall of Fame in 2016. This honor placed him in the ranks with his beloved late father, Daniel G. Sampson, who also received the award. Tom Sampson has received the Tradition of Excellence Award from the General Practice Section of the State Bar and has been honored by his alma mater, Morehouse College, with its coveted Bennie Trailblazer Award. Remembering humble beginnings and celebrating current achievements, TKST seeks to continue its tradition of excellence for years to come.

We don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” legal representation. We take the time to fully understand all the factors that have led you to our door. Our approach enables us to maximize the results we obtain for our clients. Because there are so many types of personal injuries and medical malpractice claims, it can be difficult to know what type of claim you may have, or if you even have a claim at all. If you have been injured and are unsure if you have a case, the Kubanyi Law Firm can help advise you on your rights and guide you through the process.

“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, CATASTROPHIC INJURY

FOR NEARLY 60 YEARS , the catastrophic injury firm of Malone Law has protected the rights of those injured by the negligence of others. Adam Malone leads the firm and continues the tradition of excellence established by his father and trailblazing trial advocate, Tommy Malone

Malone Law has recovered more than $600 million for clients in nearly all areas of civil injury law, including medical malpractice, product liability and trucking litigation.

“Our firm is comprised of dedicated professionals who possess decades of experience in bringing justice to those injured by the wrongdoing of others,” said Adam Malone, who was named Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in Atlanta in 2016. “We are honored by the trust our

clients place in us to be their voice in the courtroom.”

As Georgia courtrooms continued re-opening to safely operate in 2022, Malone Law continued reaching favorable resolutions in catastrophic injury and medical negligence law. This included two cases that alone resulted in confidential, high- value settlements totaling more than $35 million, and other resolutions involving amputations, wrongful death, and birth injuries.

“We understand the responsibility involved in representing catastrophically injured people and the need to bring their cases to conclusion as rapidly as possible,” said Malone, who has annually been listed in The Best Lawyers in America ®, in the areas of Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs since 2010. “While we

strive to develop innovative approaches to litigation, we rely heavily upon the decades of hard work and experience that serve as our foundation to achieve financial recoveries that will enable our clients to move forward with their lives.”

Malone has continually set an example for excellence outside of the courtroom as well. For years he served on the Board of Governors and its Executive Committee for the American Association for Justice (AAJ)— the nation’s largest organization for lawyers representing the injured. In 2022 he completed his term as Chair of the AAJ’s Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group. In April 2023, he will complete his term as President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. Concurrently, he is proud to continue serving on the Chief Justice’s Task Force for COVID-19, which he joined after its formation in 2020.
