What we handle
Business law services
Commercial Real Estate Leasing & Purchases
Considering a commercial purchase, or need a lease drafted or reviewed? We develop documents that protect your interests, help you understand what's at stake in negotiations, and can act as your advocate or intermediary to negotiate contracts and communicate with third parties on your behalf.
Get startedCorporate Registration for Start-Ups
We help you organize and legitimize your business as a registered entity with the Georgia Secretary of State. Deciding which entity is right for you matters, and it depends on the goals you've set for your business.
Get startedSole Proprietorships & Partnerships
Sole proprietors and single-member LLCs should organize just as larger entities do — structure is the foundation of success. We help you establish helpful tax and insurance relationships and put the legitimate documents in place to operate successfully.
Get startedPartnership Agreements, Operating Agreements & Bylaws
These documents define how your entity's partners, members, and officers operate — their obligations, responsibilities, and rights. Your business type determines which you need, and our attorneys craft them to give you and your members the most protection and guidance.
Get startedCorporate Policies & Procedures
We consult with you on day-to-day operations and help you build strategies you and your staff can put into practice to stay effective and profitable. Good policies and procedures are guideposts for best practices — often the difference between success and failure.
Get startedJoint Ventures, Confidentiality & Non-Compete Agreements
Working with third parties, contractors, and employees can take your business to the next level — but trust gives most entrepreneurs pause. We tailor confidentiality and non-compete agreements that set clear parameters and give you the confidence to build.
Get startedSuccession Plans
You may want to pass the fruit of your hard work on to others and keep your company operating long after you're gone — providing dividends and resources for the family you leave behind. We build customized succession plans around the needs of your business and your family.
Get startedContract Drafting & Review
Contracts are hard to read — often by design. We help you cut through the red tape and review the contract in full context to identify your rights and obligations, and we draft the agreements you need to accelerate a new venture or relationship.

Avoid the pitfalls before they start
Commercial agreements carry many considerations. A trusted legal adviser helps you see them clearly — and steer around the problems before they become expensive.
