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.

James A. Trigg

Atlanta, Ga.

For nearly 30 years, James A. Trigg has guided product creators, company owners and independent brands in copyright and trademark law.

From representing clients in contentious copyright disputes to offering counsel and protection strategies to highly valued brands or creators, Trigg always aims to provide practical, cost-effective and timely legal solutions to increasingly complex problems.

Since starting his legal career at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton in 1995, Trigg’s practice has spanned textiles, fashion, media, publishing and more. He also supports several clients in hospitality, technology and health care.

Trigg is a partner licensed to practice law in Georgia and New York.

Often noted as a top national practitioner in copyright and trademark law, recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2010, Trigg is honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Copyright Law in Atlanta for 2025.

With the advent of generative AI, large language models and adjacent tools, copyright lawyers are in a constant struggle with the controversial technology.

“I have worked with multiple clients to find practical approaches to contending with this technology, striving to balance risks and opportunities,” said Trigg.

“I have been pleased to serve as a frequent speaker on the topic, both at domestic and international programs, developing a framework for explaining and elucidating the issues straightforwardly and building a level of expertise in GenAI.”

Since these tools will continue to evolve, Trigg believes every copyright lawyer should maintain a working understanding of technology to best represent and advocate for their clients.

“It is simply impossible to negotiate a deal effectively or to resolve a dispute most efficiently if an attorney does not at least consider how that deal or that resolution might play out as technologies continue to mutate and evolve.”

AI and other tech-based tools aside, for Trigg, the core of copyright law remains the same. Keeping up with technological advancements is just as essential as staying abreast of case law developments, Trigg said.

“By definition, copyright law involves working with creators and clients who want to utilize creations in their businesses. As people find new and innovative ways to develop and use content, this gives rise to an almost limitless array of interesting issues, especially as new technologies evolve,” said Trigg.

“I find that I am often advising clients who sit at the intersection of artistic and technological creativity—as a result, the questions are always new, engaging and challenging. For me, being able to find resolutions is immensely gratifying.”

As a proven leader in the practice area, Trigg said being a successful copyright attorney draws upon many of the same traits as being a great attorney in any other legal discipline.

“You have to be responsive and empathetic to your clients. To be successful means to have the ability to look at an issue from all sides, so that you understand an adversary’s objectives, as well as your client’s.”

New Year, New Laws A GUIDE TO GEORGIA’S

2025 TAX LEGISLATION CHANGES

By Gregory Sirico

HOW GEORGIA handles its taxes will never be the same.

As new tax laws passed in Georgia’s 2024 legislative session take effect this year, the financial landscape for local governments and taxpayers is rapidly changing.

Georgia taxpayers have several newly enacted regulations to consider in 2025, such as HB 581 and SB 366, when discussing income and property taxes.

Additionally, another new Georgia law establishes a new tax court that allows the Department of Audits and Accounts to examine the state’s current tax benefit structure and comparatively review its performance against its initial intention.

“Georgia taxpayers have several new laws to consider in 2025, along with a completely new tax court.”

The law states that legislators must have sufficient time to read and review appropriations bills, now allocating at least 24 hours after an amendment has been introduced.

As we look closer at some tax-based laws coming into effect in Georgia this year, let’s explore how these provisions are expected to shake up state legal operations in 2025.

House Bill 581 Transforms State Property and Sales Taxes

Passed in April 2024, HB 581 introduces significant reforms to Georgia’s property and local sales tax systems, with the power to impact jurisdictions across the state.

Key provisions of the legislation include the authorization of a statewide floating homestead exemption applicable to all local governments, with an opt-out option that must be completed by March.

The bill also revises regulations related to tax estimates, the threeyear lock, sales ratio studies and settlement conference processes.

Additionally, it simplifies the local sales tax cap and establishes a new category of local sales tax aimed at providing property tax relief.

In 2025 and beyond, local sales tax limits will be restricted to 2%, despite several options to circumvent the limit, including penny costs for sectors such as transportation, education and other municipalities.

The value of a homestead, or an individual’s current residence, is not expected to increase more than each year’s inflation rate, creating new avenues for local sales tax that will likely aid in collecting property taxes.

According to the Georgia Municipal Association, this new option seeks to provide sales tax flexibility throughout the state.

Municipalities and local government representatives say the bill will address and consolidate county commissions, officials and elected leaders such as council members or mayors who can alter tax rates.

Senate Bill 366 Aims for Accountability

The “Tax Expenditures Transparency Act of 2024,” or Senate Bill 366, creates measures to enhance transparency and accountability in Georgia’s tax expenditure practices.

Under the new law, at least 12 economic analyses of tax expenditures will be conducted annually, with priority given to those nearing expiration within two years or with costs exceeding $20 million.

The bill also mandates comprehensive summaries of tax expenditures in the governor’s budget and requires annual reviews by legislative committees.

Additionally, evaluations will involve input from key stakeholders, including economists and business leaders, to ensure a thorough analysis.

Budgeting reports provided by the governor’s office must be made available promptly and include a list of all existing revenue sources, the net revenue estimates from each source, and a tax expense summary.

To further support the trend of transparency, all audits will be made publicly available on the Department’s website each fiscal year and vetted by independent auditors.

By implementing these provisions, the legislation aims to strengthen oversight and improve the accountability of Georgia’s tax system.

Creating a New Tax Court

Since receiving full voter approval in November 2024, the Georgia State Tax Court has been established to tackle all tax-specific legal matters.

Under this recently enacted legislation, the tax court will reside in the state government’s judicial branch and fully replace the Georgia Tax Tribunal, a longstanding fixture of the executive branch.

The newly formed tax court will predominantly rule on tax cases between businesses operating throughout the state and the Georgia Department of Revenue, serving as an appellant court.

Prior to the court’s formation, all appeals and tax-related grievances were sent through the Fulton County Superior Court, which is not an appellant court.

Like the Georgia Tax Tribunal, Gov. Brian P. Kemp will appoint all presiding judges. Their appointments will be subject to a majority vote in both the state Senate and House judiciary committees.

Simpler, Smoother, Faster

Georgia’s new laws hope to address past criticisms with tax agencies across the Peach State, from streamlining financial reporting and simplifying tax exemptions to strengthening transparency.

The formation of the Georgia State Tax Court is a primary example of the state’s renewed focus on more efficient tax dispute resolutions.

Although fresh and untested, this set of tax-based reforms aims to create a more equitable and accountable tax system for all.

Georgia state residents and business owners should remain aware of reforms to properly adapt to an evolving tax framework.

Securing Justice Against the Odds

Adam Malone has secured some of the most impactful resolutions among Georgia’s plaintiffs’ bar. But with a tiny fraction of medical malpractice claims reaching trial, the Malone Law owner understands the significance of each case and discusses why his clients’ catastrophic injuries are certain to resonate with juries in 2025.

By Justin Smulison

MALONE’S dedication to injured patients, as well as his unique grasp of the interconnection between health care and law has kept him at the forefront of Georgia’s legal landscape for decades, enabling him to secure favorable resolutions that ensure his clients can maximize their ability to recover physically and financially.

“When a hospital or doctor acts negligently, the catastrophic injuries can include damage to the brain, spinal cord, or limbs, which can result in death or require a lifetime of care,” says Malone, who in 2016 was named the Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice Law in Atlanta. “Between the extent of the client’s injury, their ability to heal and the economic toll due to disability, loss of resources, medical bills and the fulltime job of recovery, livelihoods and sometimes survival itself hangs in the balance in our malpractice trials.”

Medical Malpractice Trends in Georgia

Malone maintains that his firm is selective in its caseload, because they spend months–if not years–preparing for a trial. New data supports the gravity of need for extensive pre-trial investigation and workup. Recent information from the Center For Justice & Democracy and the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) notes in 2023 medical malpractice cases represented a fraction of 1% of state trial court civil caseloads; furthermore, juries continue to resolve a low percentage of state medical malpractice cases in the U.S., with rates ranging from 1.48 to 6.49% in 2023. This means that most cases are resolved after extensive litigation, but prior to trial.

Informed by this data, Malone Law still always prepares for trial. “The best pretrial resolutions can only be achieved by being fully prepared with a sincere desire to go to trial,” says Malone. “We are

always prepared, and we relish every opportunity we have to present our compelling causes to the jury. Because of this, most insurance companies choose to resolve with us prior to trial.

“Each case feels like the world is at stake, because a person’s or family’s entire future is on the line. Their lives have been turned upside down through no fault of their own and need relief and accountability. That is true justice.”

Indeed, the firm’s caseload for 2025 already has trial dates and are likely to capture the attention of medical providers and those with the power to make necessary changes. They include:

• The victim of brain surgery gone awry when the surgeon used an improper pathway to remove a benign mass. The patient was left brain damaged and requires around-theclock care.

• A brain injury, which led to complete body paralysis. After four years, the client passed away, changing the scope to a wrongful death matter.

• A woman being treated for a broken ankle who was over-medicated and ignored, died shortly after.

• Additionally, Malone notes a rise in “never events,” which are defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services as, “serious and costly errors in the provision of health care services that should never happen.”

“Many of these ‘never event’ cases are stemming from interdisciplinary communication failure, inexperience and a lack of supervision, such as nurses assuming the responsibilities of doctors,” says Malone, who is board certified by the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys and the National

Board of Trial Advocates. “Clear communication, an honest recognition of your professional limitations and the courage to call for help before you get in over your head is essential to protect lives. When communication failures occur or ego gets in the way, the patient is in danger and the tragic result is a catastrophic, but completely avoidable injury.”

Strengthening the Profession to Further Protect the Public

Malone is one of the legal profession’s foremost authorities on traumatic brain injuries (TBI). A longtime member of the American Association for Justice’s (AAJ), he is the former Chair of the AAJ Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group. In 2023, he completed his term as President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, but remains committed to GTLA’s mission of preserving the right to trial by jury and to the independence of the courts. He continues his commitment to survivors of brain and spinal cord injury by serving on the Foundation Board for the Shepherd Brain and Spinal Center, the nation’s leading brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation hospital. He is also strengthening the quality of the next generation of lawyers by serving as Chair of the Board of Directors for Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School.

“I hope to make a meaningful contribution to our community and give back,” he says. “I’ll always be available to help an organization whose mission is to help people rebuild their lives through quality healthcare services and those that uphold the principles that our country is based upon – most notably your right to stand on your soapbox and speak your mind, cast your vote at the ballot box and to participate in the purest form of self-government the world has ever known by serving in the jury box.”

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.

MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE, BRAIN INJURY, CATASTROPHIC INJURY

MALONE LAW is one of the most recognizable plaintiff’s firms in Georgia, due to their six decades of courtroom successes. But firm owner Adam Malone has maintained that the greatest achievements occur after case is resolved, when clients and their families can heal, following unthinkable injuries.

“Our clients have often suffered massive physical, financial and emotional trauma at the hands of the very medical providers they trusted to protect them,” said Malone a Board-Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, who in 2016 was named the Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice Law in Atlanta. “It is the ultimate privilege to fight for them. We also see the bigger picture as each case we accept becomes a cause worth fighting to bring about changes necessary to prevent harm in the future.”

Led by Adam Malone and founded by his late father, Thomas “Tommy” Malone – a trial law trailblazer who launched the firm more than 60 years ago – Malone Law has helped thousands

of injured people, and their families recover following catastrophic injuries and fatalities sustained due to medical malpractice and other negligence.

The past year was another standout, as the firm secured more than $50 million in confidential verdicts and settlements for their clients. These high-value resolutions stemmed from devastating brain damage and amputation to birth injuries in newborn children, but all shared the need for a unique understanding of the interconnectedness of health care and the law in order to achieve favorable outcomes. Malone Law has demonstrated its knowledge of these complex areas, which has set them apart from other Georgia firms and earned them Best Law Firms® Tier 1 rankings in Atlanta for Personal Injury Litigation—Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law—Plaintiffs.

“We have evolved along with the legal landscape, and through hard work, listening and the creative use of technology and demonstrative evidence, we connect more deeply with juries, judges, opposing parties and counsel”

noted Malone, who in 2023 completed his term as President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. “We know how to spot systemic deficiencies and careless practices, and we fight for accountability, compensation and ultimately to change the flawed systems and behaviors that cause harm.”

The familial nature of Malone Law is also one of its strongest assets, as trial attorney Meri Benoit Link and several staff members have been with the firm for decades and mentored by Tommy Malone. In 2024, Malone Law also welcomed its newest trial attorney, Christopher Carter, a former Mississippi State Prosecutor and Assistant United States Attorney. Malone noted that Carter’s creativity adds to the firm’s broad range of perspectives, which is further embedded into the firm’s culture.

“Malone Law honors its past and continues to build its future,” Malone said. “Our talented bench is growing and will continue to be comprised of dedicated advocates who truly believe in using the law to help and protect others.”
