Business Formation • Contract Law • Commercial Litigation • Business Succession Planning

Contract law, transactions, litigation, arbitration—whatever your small business need, I can help. I am Atlanta contract lawyer James G. Killough. I have been providing business law services to business owners in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area for more than 35 years. Contact my law office to schedule a free consultation to learn more about how I can help you start or grow your business.

Corporate Formation and Organization

Starting your business, growing your business, passing your business along to the next generation—each of these stages in the life of a company can be accomplished more easily with proper legal guidance.

  • Legal counsel and document negotiation or preparation when you form your new business venture as a sole proprietorship, joint venture, partnership or limited liability partnership, corporation, or limited liability company (LLC)
  • Legal advice on the tax consequences and risk of liability of each business entity
  • Issuing stock or drafting stock purchase paperwork
  • Reorganizing a business
  • Business succession planning to properly transfer assets and control of a business

Business and Commercial Transactions

In contract law, it is all too true that you can spend a dime to get it done right—or spend a dollar to go to court to figure out what you did wrong. A well-drafted business contract will save you time, money, and stress. As your Atlanta contract lawyer, I can provide contract negotiation, drafting, and review services for a variety of routine business transactions:

  • Employment contracts, sales staff contracts, and independent contractor agreements
  • Vendor contracts and customer contracts
  • Manufacturing contracts
  • Commercial real estate leases
  • Equipment leases
  • Purchase and sale agreements for business properties

 

Business Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Like my clients, I focus on practical solutions to business disputes that limit their risk and their costs. If a problem can be resolved more quickly and cost-effectively with mediation or arbitration, I help my clients use those mechanisms to get an acceptable result to their business dispute. I have served as a business dispute resolution arbitrator for over 25 years, and I am arbitrator for NASD Dispute Resolution, an organization affiliated with the NASD, the primary private-sector regulator of the securities industry and operator of Nasdaq.

If your company's best interests would be protected in court, I provide skilled, knowledgeable and aggressive representation in the courtroom for any type of commercial litigation, including:
  • Trademark and copyright suits
  • Unfair business practices and unfair competition cases
  • Breach of employment covenants and non-compete agreements
