About

Jamie Konn is a high-stakes employment litigator and trusted advisor to multinational companies, professional services firms, and private-equity sponsors. He focuses on restrictive covenants litigation, executive and mobility disputes, and sensitive workforce matters that require coordinated legal, business, and reputational strategy. He is known for partnering with clients to implement practical, business-aligned strategies.

Jamie represents clients in fast-moving employment disputes before state and federal courts and in arbitration, including matters involving restrictive covenants, executive disputes, employee mobility, confidential and trade secret information, and reputational issues. He also regularly advises clients on employee complaints and investigations, executive engagement and separations, labor-management disputes, negotiations, and federal and state law compliance.

Clients turn to Jamie not only for complex, high-stakes disputes, but also for broader strategy across global relationships and multi-jurisdictional workstreams. He manages several global client relationships for the firm and helps companies align employment litigation, investigations, compliance, transactions, and workforce strategy with business objectives.

Jamie has particular experience advising professional services firms and other talent-driven companies where employee mobility, client relationships, confidential information, and executive transitions can create urgent legal and business risk. He also works closely with private equity sponsors on employment-related risks across transactions, leadership changes, and portfolio company operations.

In addition to his client-facing practice, Jamie serves as Managing Partner for the firm's Atlanta office and as a member of the firm's Global Policy Committee.  These roles reflect his broader commitment to client service, talent development and the continued growth of the firm's platform in Atlanta, across the United States, and globally.
