Joseph J. Fucile
ATLANTA, GA – Joseph J. Fucile, whose legal career includes a nearly six-year stint with the University System of Georgia, has joined the Hartman Simons & Wood (Hartman Simons) law firm as senior counsel. His practice will focus on commercial real estate matters.

Fucile, who most recently worked as a sole practitioner, served as director of real estate services for the University System of Georgia from 2007 to 2013.

There, he managed the legal and real estate issues of a portfolio that includes more than 9,000 buildings owned by the system as well as nearly 3.6 million square feet of space that it leases.

Fucile worked at Hartman Simons, where he served as an environmental and land development attorney for international retailers and commercial developers, from 2000 to 2005, and he later practiced at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton in Atlanta, where he represented clients in commercial real estate and construction contract matters.

Before attending law school, Fucile worked as a planner in the Putnam County, Fla., Department of Planning, Zoning and Building, and as a senior management analyst for the State of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management.

“Joe brings both a depth and range of experience and expertise that will serve our clients very well,” said Summey Orr, managing partner of Hartman Simons. 

“His intelligence and skill were tremendous assets to our firm during his initial tenure at Hartman Simons, and we could not be more excited about his return.”

Fucile is a 1999 graduate of the University of Florida College of Law. 

He also holds a Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Florida College of Architecture and a Bachelor of Arts from Florida Atlantic University. 

He was named a “rising star” in Atlanta magazine’s Super Lawyers issues in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
