Small Business Lawyers In Atlanta
Small and mid-sized businesses often need legal help but choose not to obtain it. This happens because businesses are left in the unenviable position of either hiring a large firm with exorbitant hourly rates for their attorneys; these companies are then considered a “small account,” which can make speaking to that attorney more difficult. The alternative is hiring a general practitioner who may not have experience in the needed area and will have to “learn the law” on your company’s dime.
The Kirby G. Smith Law Firm, LLC, helps fill this gap in the industry by providing small and mid-size companies in Georgia with legal assistance in virtually every area they will encounter in the course of doing business. We do so by using an innovative fee structure and business model that big firms with big profits aren’t interested in trying. Our small business lawyers know that you are not a Fortune 500 company and legal fees aren’t a line-item write off for you. We generally categorize our services into the areas described below.

Business Formation
You will invest significant time and money into your new business; ensure you establish it correctly. We offer flat-fee, one-time-payment services to register your business, create your articles of incorporation, appoint a registered agent, and ensure future compliance. Our rates often match or beat “do-it-yourself” services once you include the many hidden fees those companies charge. Attempting to save money early in the process can lead to higher costs later.
Business Operations
As your business grows, you will be amazed at the various issues that come up along the way where you will want a lawyer on your side. Our Atlanta firm offers both drafting and review services for employee contracts, employee handbooks, purchase and sale templates, exit agreements and many more. We can also provide consultations when you simply need a legal opinion, at a discount if we helped form the company initially.
Business Defense
Our background in litigation enables us to handle any disputes your business may encounter. Whether you face a conflict with a customer, vendor, employee or another party, we will strive to resolve the issue through all necessary means. We will also work closely with your budget to determine the level of risk the business should assume during negotiations. While we have established a reputation in the courtroom, we also recognize that certain matters require discretion over public litigation.
Secure Your Business Today
Many big corporations have no problem paying an attorney to support the company full-time. Your business may not need or be able to afford a full-time attorney, but legal problems always arise. Don’t wait for a legal crisis to find a partner you can trust. Call The Kirby G. Smith Law Firm, LLC, at 770-892-6019 or send us an email to schedule a consultation.
