Mozley, Finalyson & Loggins

What Mozley, Finalyson & Loggins does

Mozley, Finlayson & Loggins LLP is a Georgia-based law firm founded in 1977, headquartered in Atlanta with additional offices in Alpharetta and Marietta. The firm fields approximately 33 attorneys, including 22 partners, and concentrates its practice in aviation law, trucking and transportation litigation, insurance defense, and real estate and banking/lender representation. In 2026 the firm added a workers' compensation practice group, extending its footprint beyond defense work into a complementary statutory area. The firm holds title insurance issuing-agent appointments that embed it in real estate closing workflows alongside its lender and developer clients.

The firm's core offering is specialized legal counsel delivered through hourly fee arrangements on litigation and transactional matters, supplemented by title insurance commissions on closings. Its client base is anchored by major insurance carriers (Travelers, MetLife, Chubb, AIG, CNA, The Hartford, and others) for defense work, with secondary client segments in commercial transportation, real estate development, and financial services. Membership in the Law Firm Alliance provides referral-based national and international reach, supporting the firm's positioning for cross-jurisdictional matters and contributing to Chambers Global recognition.

Revenue mechanics reflect a traditional partnership model: partner productivity, associate leverage, and panel status with insurance carriers drive collections, with title insurance providing a transactional overlay. The firm has accumulated multiple third-party recognitions, including repeat Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers in America selections, AV Preeminent Martindale-Hubbell ratings, and five consecutive years of Best of Perimeter North Atlanta designation. The 2021 passing of founding partner J. Arthur Mozley and 2021 retirement of partner William D. Harrison mark the most significant leadership transitions in the firm's recent history.
