Counsel selection
Proceeding fit
The required role—hearing advocacy, deposition examination, mediation, or local-counsel support—guides the review.
Counsel selection
Experience before convenience
The attorney closest to the courthouse is not necessarily the attorney best suited to protect the record. Peach evaluates the assignment first, then considers counsel whose experience fits the proceeding.
The Peach Standard
A deliberate match for the work at hand.
Every request begins with the demands of the matter: what must be argued, examined, negotiated, preserved, or accomplished. Selection is subject to conflicts, availability, licensing, competency, court requirements, and the proposed attorney’s acceptance of the assignment.
Every matter remains subject to conflicts, attorney availability, professional obligations, applicable court rules, and a written engagement defining the assignment.
Counsel selection
Venue and practice
Georgia procedure, court expectations, subject matter, complexity, and relevant practice experience are considered together.
Counsel selection
Credentials confirmed
The requesting firm receives proposed counsel information for review before the limited engagement is confirmed.
The deliverable
What the requesting firm receives
A proposed Georgia attorney selected against the known requirements of the assignment, together with the opportunity to review counsel’s relevant background and confirm the defined scope before engagement.
