Kip joined Conley Griggs Partin as an Associate Attorney in March of 2022. His practice focuses on catastrophic personal injury and complex litigation cases covering a wide range of legal issues including toxic tort, wrongful death, products liability, medical malpractice, premises liability, slip and fall, general negligence, and business dispute litigation. Prior to joining Conley Griggs Partin, Kip worked as an associate for an Atlanta-based insurance defense firm in Atlanta, providing him with a unique understanding of the strategies employed by defense counsel in building its case. Kip realized he wanted to spend his efforts helping real people whose loved ones were lost or severely injured due to corporate negligence and wrongdoing.
In his first three years at Conley Griggs Partin, Kip has been directly involved on cases that have resolved for over $50 million collectively for his clients. Most notably, Kip was the lead associate on a case against a local medical sterilization company which led to an eight-figure settlement.
In 2024, Kip was named a “Rising Star” by Atlanta Magazine, an annual honor given to no more than 2.5 percent of lawyers in Georgia under 40 who have attained a high degree of peer recognition for their advocacy for their clients and professional achievement. Also in 2024, Kip was accepted into the Georgia Trial Lawyers’ Association’s LEAD program.
Kip earned his B.A. in Business Marketing from the University of Georgia in 2017, summa cum laude. He then attended the University of Georgia School of Law, where he earned his J.D., cum laude. While in law school, he served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of International and Comparative Law. Kip was also active in Mock Trial and Moot Court, winning the 2018 J. Melvin England Mock Trial Competition and the 2019 Georgia Intrastate Moot Court Competition. During his final year of law school, Kip was selected as a pupil in the E. Wycliffe Orr Sr. American Inn of Court and prosecuted criminal cases in the Northeastern Circuit’s District Attorney’s Office.
