Battleson Law’s unique advantage of inside knowledge of having worked on the business side for a decade, provides insight on pressure points of the opposition and where to dig for information.

Contingency-based fee (we don’t get our fees if you don’t win)

Loan Workouts for Atlanta Businesses

Many businesses in the Atlanta area use commercial loans as startup funding, to cover major expenses in the course of business, or to overcome financial setbacks. Commercial loans often have strict terms for repayment, and they can involve large amounts of money. It is all too common for a company to run into difficulty adhering to the terms of the loan, and loan default might result.

To avoid harsh actions by lenders, such as loan acceleration or action against a collateral or personal guaranty, it is important to discuss a possible loan workout with an experienced attorney at Battleson law. We take a proactive approach to negotiate a workout with lenders, which can result in updated repayment terms that are reasonable, given your company’s financial circumstances. We can also negotiate commercial lease workouts when needed. Learn how you might avoid the serious financial consequences of a commercial loan or lease default today.

Having formerly worked as an attorney defending large insurance companies, multinational self-insureds, and the State of Georgia, Mark Battleson brings this valuable perspective to his personal injury practice in Atlanta. Injury cases are generally handled on a contingency basis, and we don’t get our fee until you settle or win. Battleson Law’s unique advantage of inside knowledge of how insurance companies defend their claims, and Mark Battleson’s experience with investigations, depositions, trials, and large deal & claim negotiations is put to good use to get seriously injured people the justice they deserve in cases involving: Auto Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Truck Accidents, Medical Malpractice, Wrongful Death, Premises Liability / Slip and Fall, Product Liability, Dog Bites, Workers’ Compensation & Work Related Injuries

When looking for an experienced Atlanta lawyer for Business / Corporate / Commercial Real Estate matters; when faced with Business Disputes, Non-Compete matters, Overtime Wage issues; or, when dealing with New Loans, Loan Workouts, or Foreclosure, call or email Battleson Law and we will provide a free consultation to see if we are the best option for your situation.
