Joshua A. Carroll Elected President of the GTLA
Buzzell, Welsh & Hill is thrilled to announce that one of our partners, Joshua A. Carroll, has been elected the 70th president of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (GTLA).
Josh was officially sworn in as president for 2025-26 on Friday, April 25, at the GTLA President’s Gala, a featured event capping the association’s two-day convention held at the InterContinental Hotel in Atlanta, GA.
During his one-year term, Josh will oversee the Executive Committee, preside over GTLA Officer meetings, and work with the association’s CEO and staff regarding daily decision-making and policy strategy.
“It has been such a rewarding experience to be a part of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, and it is the highest honor to now be elected by GTLA Members to serve as the association’s 70th president,” Josh said. “I thank and congratulate immediate past president, Jason Branch, for his excellent leadership in the previous year, and I look forward to taking the reins to lead and support our exceptional Members as they uphold Georgia’s civil justice system and fight for fairness and justice for their clients.”
Josh’s top priorities as president are to continue and improve upon GTLA’s high-quality educational seminars, work to identify challenges to certain provisions of Senate Bill 68 that GTLA believes to be unconstitutional, and continue to protect clients’ rights at the Capitol.
“We are so proud of Josh for this major accomplishment,” said Stephen Welsh, managing partner of Buzzell, Welsh & Hill. “Josh is a huge asset to our firm, his clients, and the GTLA. As president, we know he is going to lead the association with wisdom, confidence, and a strong commitment to supporting lawyers and their clients across the state of Georgia.”
Josh is a partner at the Law Offices of Buzzell, Welsh & Hill in Macon, GA. He has previously served in several GTLA roles, including president-elect and executive vice president, chairman of GTLA’s Civil Justice PAC, and board member for the Workers’ Compensation Claimants’ Lawyers (WCCL) section of GTLA.
About the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association
The Georgia Trial Lawyers Association works to strengthen, uphold, and preserve our state’s civil justice system as it protects the rights of citizens seeking legal justice. Too often, the fight for fairness requires individuals to go up against big corporations that have considerable power. GTLA helps empower those seeking justice and evens the playing field between people and the corporations they are fighting against. Through legislative, political, and media channels, the GTLA works to engage with Georgians, educating them about their rights to justice and fighting to protect and safeguard those rights.
