Lisa Durham Taylor
About Lisa
Biography
Lisa Taylor brings a unique skill set to her law practice, which is built on the invaluable experience she gained as an employment litigator at the international law firm of Alston & Bird, and the knowledge, intellect and skill she honed teaching and writing about civil procedure and employment law as a full-time, tenured law professor. Lisa combines her experience, knowledge, intellect, and skill to offer exceptional personalized client experiences at extraordinary value.
When Lisa is not busy delivering efficient and effective legal services to her clients, she can typically either be found shuttling her three young children to their varied and many school, sporting and extracurricular activites, or engaging in her own form of therapy through running, biking, or swimming (and, quite naturally, racing a triathlon here and there). Her other interests include college football (Go Dawgs!), fine (and budget-worthy-but-tasty) wines, and spending time with family and friends.

Lisa Durham Taylor's Lawyer Endorsements
"Lisa Taylor has and continues to be an invaluable resource for our law firm and me. I worked with Lisa on two extensive motions in two different areas of law. The projects required robust analysis, review, writing, and legal acumen. On top of that, we were working on tight deadlines. She exceeded all expectations on every front. Great communication helped move the project along and give me peace of mind that we remained on the same page on the project. We handily won both motions. Beyond the work product being excellent, what impressed me was how Lisa was invested in the cases and demonstrated care and empathy for the situations. I am grateful for getting to know Lisa and recommend her without reservation and look forward to working with her in the future."
"Lisa is literally a walking library on employment law and the controlling cases. We often work together on cases and she is a fair but tough litigator who knows how to assess a case and always informs her clients of the options and pros/cons before moving forward. I consider Lisa a trusted advisor."
"Lisa Taylor is a fantastic attorney. Her depth and breadth of knowledge has been invaluable to my clients who require employment and labor law expertise. I am proud to work with Lisa, and am grateful to have her as a colleague. I highly recommend Lisa, and do not hesitate to bring her in to work with my clients on employment issues."
"Lisa is one of the few lawyers in the northeast Georgia area specializing in representation of employers. She has "big firm" experience handling employment matters of all kinds. She is a conscientious and dedicated professional that truly cares about her clients."
