Simon R. Malko

Simon is a registered mediator with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution. In his role as a neutral, he is one of few people who can speak the language of lawyers, insurers, and clients, and help them find effective resolutions to commercial disputes without lengthy and costly litigation.

A former foster parent, Simon is deeply involved in his community, serving as a long-time volunteer for the Metro Atlanta YMCA, as a certified service dog trainer for Canine Assistants, a member of Board of Councilors of the Carter Center, a member of the Advisory Board of the Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Metro Atlanta Chamber. He is also a passionate advocate for mental health and pioneered a groundbreaking Wellness Program at Morris Manning, which provided free, on-site therapy sessions for all employees. The program continues to provide services in Taft’s Atlanta and Washington, D.C. (Dupont Circle), offices.

A leading voice in the legal industry, Simon frequently writes and speaks on issues related to litigation strategy, law firm management and economics, mental health in the legal industry, and legal ethics.
