Frank has over 30 years of experience representing plaintiffs and defendants in complex litigation at the trial and appellate level in state and federal courts. He has spent his career at the firm after clerking for the Honorable Stanley F. Birch, United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Frank handles a limited number of matters at a time so that he can be directly involved in all crucial phases of the litigation, from investigation and discovery to legal strategy and written advocacy, continuing through trial and appeal.
On the plaintiff’s side, Frank has led teams to nine-figure judgments and settlements and served on core trial teams producing ten-figure verdicts. On the defense side, Frank has served as lead counsel for some of Georgia’s most well-respected corporate citizens facing large potential exposures in class actions and other high-risk disputes.
Based on peer review and market data, Chambers and Partners ranks Bondurant as a “Band One” Georgia Firm for General Commercial Litigation and rates Frank as one of only two “Band One” commercial litigators in the state. Best Lawyers also selected him as the 2026 “Lawyer of the Year” for Bet-the-Company Litigation.
Antitrust law is a particular area of focus, in which Frank has served as lead counsel in defending and prosecuting plaintiff’s class actions, pursuing single-plaintiff antitrust claims on behalf of large institutions, and defending merger challenges by the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice. Frank has been recommended for antitrust litigation by Chambers for over a decade, and Chambers currently ranks him as one of only five “Band One” antitrust litigators in Georgia, while also recognizing Bondurant as one of just four “Band One” antitrust litigation firms in the state. Best Lawyers in America recognized Frank as the 2016, 2019, 2020, and 2025 “Lawyer of the Year” for antitrust litigation.
At the appellate level, Frank represents the firm’s clients in high-stakes appeals in the federal circuit courts and Georgia’s appellate courts. These include large-exposure appeals involving business torts, contract disputes, federal statutory claims (particularly antitrust, consumer class action, and RICO cases), catastrophic injury, and wrongful death. He is a founding member of Georgia’s State Bar Appellate Practice Section, a member of the Eleventh Circuit Historical Society, and a veteran invitee to appear in the annual demonstration argument presented at the Eleventh Circuit Appellate Practice Institute (ECAPI). He is one of only six Georgia members of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers — an invitation-only counterpart to the American College of Trial Lawyers — and he is proud to say that two of the other members practice alongside him at Bondurant. Best Lawyers recognized Frank as the 2018, 2024, and 2026 “Lawyer of the Year” for appellate practice.
