What Morris, Manning & Martin does

Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP is a private, full-service law firm founded in 1976 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with a secondary office in Washington, D.C. opened in 1992. The firm served a diverse client base spanning Fortune 50 corporations, technology and emerging-growth companies, real estate developers and investors, and international businesses, with particular depth in real estate capital markets (including REITs), corporate and M&A, venture capital and private equity, litigation, international trade, environmental law, cybersecurity and privacy, and emerging-technology regulation. The firm was an Am Law 200-ranked practice with 180+ attorneys in Atlanta and 30+ in Washington, D.C., recognized as the #1 real estate law firm in Atlanta by ALM's Daily Report and consistently top-tier ranked by Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, and Pitchbook.

The firm monetizes through traditional law-firm billing models, with no public pricing and fees tied to matter complexity, practice area, and attorney seniority. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven, combining direct enterprise engagement with reputation-led content and thought leadership through the MMMPressions blog, legal updates, publications, speaking engagements, community events, and curated newsletters. The firm also operates specialty service lines such as AI regulatory counsel, fintech, blockchain and cryptocurrency, healthcare IT, government contracts, and Corporate Transparency Act compliance.

Effective December 31, 2025, Morris, Manning & Martin merged with Taft Stettinius & Hollister, bringing more than 100 of its lawyers and nearly 50 years of client service to the combined platform. The resulting firm operates more than 1,200 attorneys across 25 offices with projected combined revenues exceeding $1 billion, while preserving the Morris Manning brand identity in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. Post-merger, the firm lost roughly half of its lawyers to competitors before reorganizing its Atlanta office leadership around new partners Wyatt Kendall and Lauren Prevost.
