In 1981, while still working full time for the FLRA, Adam started law school in the evening program at Fordham Law School in New York. After completing his first year, Adam left government employ and moved to Atlanta to attend Emory Law School, from which he graduated in 1984. During law school he clerked with three nationally recognized employment law firms.
After law school he started as an associate Mack & Bernstein, advanced to partner in 1989 and eventually headed that firm’s litigation practice. During the nine years he was with Mack & Bernstein Adam represented employers ranging in size from Fortune 50 corporations to small local companies in all aspects of labor and employment law. Adam continued to represent employers in employment matters with Wagner & Johnston from 1991 to 1993 and Wimberly & Lawson from 1995 to 1997.
Adam was out of law school a year less than a year when he began representing Federal employees in defending adverse actions and prosecuting discrimination claims. His experience as a federal employee and a federal manager, coupled with his expertise in federal sector labor and employee relations, uniquely qualified him to represent federal employees. His federal employee practice grew during the 13 years he spent with management labor law firms. His litigation experience defending employers sharpened his litigation skills. By 1997 his plaintiff’s practice had grown so large that it left little time for representing employers. Because of this he formed Adam J. Conti, LLC to provide an optimal environment for his unique practice.
Adam has long been an advocate of Alternate Dispute Resolution in the employment setting. He has served as an arbitrator with Fulton County Superior Courts since 1988 and he is a certified as a Mediator and Arbitrator by the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution. He regularly serves as an Arbitrator with the National Arbitration Forum and several other ADR providers. In addition to the Georgia Bar, he is member of the, the American Bar Association, and the National Employment Lawyers Association, where he serves as member of Federal sector law committee.
Adam is admitted to all federal and state court courts in Georgia, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California. He has appeared in numerous other courts on a pro hac vice basis and has represented federal employees in administrative proceedings in most major U.S. cities and overseas. He has been to Japan on cases on six occasions.
