BUSINESS STARTUP

Whether you endeavor to own a retail store, recording studio, or an eCommerce website, all businesses need proper formation. We will help you determine the best type of business structure to use based on your type of operation, and tailor the proper structuring documentation so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Ideas, tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive creative market. With so many channels and constantly replenishing feeds to watch out for, tracing the ownership and originality of a design, brand name, or invention needs the laser-focused eye of a trained attorney. We’ll handle the search, application, and filing process of trademarks, copyrights, and patents. And if your idea has been infringed upon, our litigation team will negotiate the best possible licensing and settlement agreements.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

The startup and small business marketplace is still a new and fierce frontier that requires legal advice from attorneys who are deeply entrenched in the particularities of venture financing. Our firm gives you an holistic approach, so your company can get the best competitive advantage.

Business Litigation

Demystifying business is in itself a creative practice. It requires finesse, strategic structuring, and in many ways, empathy. At the end of the day, businesses are profoundly personal. In such matters, mediation or arbitration almost always yields the most fulfilling results. However, should the occasion arise, our lawyers are more than prepared to move into litigation. We endeavor to make sure our clients walk away from their disputes or deals knowing that their core interests were preserved.

NONPROFIT CREATION AND MANAGEMENT

Most nonprofits are 501(c)(3) corporations, which means they are formed for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes and are eligible for federal and state tax exemptions. We are experienced in navigating the processes of forming a nonprofit in Georgia and securing tax exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service. We will assist you with every thing from a Statement of Purpose to determining the structure for your Board of Directors.
