Two of Atlanta’s top boutiques handling plaintiffs’ employment law cases, Buckley Beal and Barrett & Farahany, are adding lawyers amid growing work in workplace law and civil rights claims.

Buckley Beal has hired two experienced civil rights litigators versed in employment and business disputes, P. Jay Pontrelli and J. Kyle Brooks, both from the Georgia Attorney General’s Office. Barrett & Farahany will add Matt Billips, a longtime plaintiffs employment practitioner, from his firm, Orr Brown & Billips, on April 8 to head its trial practice.
