Gabrielle Hawkridge

I am an associate on the firm’s employment team, where I represent plaintiffs in various areas of employment law, including workplace discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing, and compensation and overtime claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). I earned my J.D. from Mercer University School of Law in 2025. During my time at Mercer, I co-founded the Sports and Entertainment Law Society (SELS) and served as its Co-President for two and a half years, reflecting my dedication to exploring legal topics beyond traditional coursework. I was also an active member of Phi Delta Phi Honor Society and the Association of Women Law Students (AWLS). Before attending law school, I graduated from Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky with a degree in Psychology. Following my undergraduate studies, I worked at a labor and employment defense firm for a year. That experience reinforced my passion for employment law and served as the foundation for my legal career. I am a member of the State Bar of Georgia and am admitted to practice before the State Court of Georgia and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, needlepointing, staying up to date with the latest reality TV series, and spending time with family and friends.
