About the Firm
A different kind of firm. By design.
Schwartz & Associates, PC is an Atlanta law firm focused on class action and mass tort litigation on behalf of investors, consumers, and people injured by drugs, medical devices, and products.
The firm combines legal judgment with operating and capital markets experience to find recurring misconduct, test it against the law and the evidence, and prosecute the claims that hold up.
Clarity beats volume. Judgment beats process.
Clients deserve direct answers, not memoranda that hedge every conclusion. The firm's role is to provide defensible legal judgment grounded in how businesses, markets, and disputes actually function, and to say plainly when a claim is not worth bringing.

Consumers

Founder and Managing Member
Lou Schwartz
Lou Schwartz is the founder and managing member of Schwartz & Associates, PC, where he leads the firm's class action, mass tort, and corporate practices. A pioneer in digital media and platform-driven businesses, he brings more than two decades of operating, capital markets, and transactional experience to the practice of law.
Schwartz began his career as a corporate securities and M&A lawyer and later moved into senior executive roles at the forefront of digital transformation. He built and scaled streaming and technology platforms, led public and private companies, and designed monetization strategies across digital media, SaaS, and data-centric enterprises. Over his career, he has led hundreds of M&A transactions with aggregate deal value exceeding $2 billion, raised more than $500 million in capital, and completed multiple successful exits as CEO, board chair, and senior executive.
Today, Schwartz applies that same operational and financial discipline to legal strategy. His work centers on complex litigation, including securities, consumer, and mass tort matters involving technology, data, and systemic misconduct, alongside corporate and M&A advisory, capital formation, and estate planning. He treats litigation as a systems problem, informed by incentives, market structure, and how companies actually operate.
In parallel, Schwartz serves as Chief Forensics Officer of Signal Law Group, a research and investigations platform focused on identifying emerging legal and systemic risk before it becomes public litigation. Across his work, he uses technology, data, and firsthand operating experience to push legal practice beyond reactive advice and toward an intelligence-driven model built for modern markets.
Schwartz holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the Pennsylvania State University and a Juris Doctor from Mississippi College School of Law. He is admitted to practice in Georgia.
Co-counsel and referrals
In class action and mass tort matters, the firm may work with co-counsel, including firms that hold leadership roles in the litigation, or refer matters to other lawyers. Any such arrangement, including how fees are shared, is explained to the client and agreed to in writing.

Conflicts
Because the firm has both a litigation practice and a corporate practice, every engagement begins with a conflicts check across both. The intake assistant asks for the companies and parties involved first for the same reason.
