What types of businesses does Battleson Law, LLC represent?
Battleson Law, LLC works with entrepreneurs, startups, franchises, small and medium-sized businesses, established companies, business owners, and investors throughout Atlanta and Georgia. Our business law services cover matters that can arise throughout the life cycle of a company, from choosing and forming a business entity to negotiating contracts, securing financing, resolving disputes, and buying or selling a business. We also assist clients with commercial real estate transactions and financing matters.
Because business decisions frequently involve both legal and financial considerations, we focus on understanding the larger goals behind each transaction or dispute. Whether you are starting a new venture, negotiating an important agreement, restructuring an existing business relationship, or preparing for a major transaction, our business lawyer can evaluate the legal issues involved and help you determine an appropriate path forward.
Can a business lawyer help with contracts and business transactions?
Yes. A business lawyer can assist with drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and revising agreements used in everyday operations as well as major business transactions. Battleson Law helps clients with business contracts, purchase and sale agreements, financing arrangements, business transactions, and other agreements that affect a company’s operations and financial interests.
Legal review can be particularly valuable before signing an agreement that creates significant financial obligations or establishes a long-term business relationship. We can identify provisions involving payment requirements, responsibilities, termination rights, liability, default, restrictive covenants, and other important terms. Battleson Law also assists business owners who are buying or selling companies, including transactions involving asset purchase agreements and stock or membership interest purchase agreements. As top-rated business attorneys in Atlanta, our goal is to help clients understand their agreements and address potential concerns before they develop into larger business disputes.
Does Battleson Law handle commercial real estate matters?
Yes. Battleson Law provides legal services involving commercial real estate acquisitions, development, leasing, investment structuring, financing, purchase and sale agreements, and construction-related matters. Our commercial lease lawyer represents clients involved in commercial real estate transactions who need assistance reviewing documents, negotiating terms, structuring investments, or addressing disputes connected with a property or business relationship.
Commercial real estate transactions can involve several interconnected agreements and financial obligations, making careful legal review particularly important. Our services include commercial leasing, commercial real estate finance involving debt and equity, investment partnership and entity structuring, and construction contracts and dispute resolution. We can also assist when problems develop after an agreement has been executed, including certain lease defaults, loan defaults, and real estate investment disputes. Clients considering a transaction can contact Battleson Law early in the process so legal considerations can be addressed before documents are finalized.

What should I do if my business is involved in a commercial dispute?
Business owners facing a dispute should gather relevant contracts, correspondence, financial records, notices, and other documents connected with the disagreement and speak with a small business law firm as early as practical. Understanding the terms of the underlying agreement and the positions of each party can help determine whether the matter may be resolved through negotiation or whether additional legal action should be considered.
Battleson Law represents small and medium-sized businesses in business and commercial disputes, real estate and real estate investment disputes, non-compete and non-solicitation matters, nondisclosure and trade secret issues, and certain employment disputes. Depending on the circumstances, resolving a dispute may involve direct negotiation, mediation, settlement discussions, or litigation. We evaluate each matter individually and consider both the immediate legal issue and the potential effect the dispute could have on the client’s ongoing business operations.
Can Battleson Law help if my business is having trouble with a commercial loan or lease?
Yes. As a commercial lease lawyer, Battleson Law assists businesses dealing with commercial loan defaults, loan workouts, refinancing matters, and commercial lease defaults. When financial circumstances make it difficult for a company to comply with its existing loan or lease terms, addressing the situation before it escalates can create additional opportunities to negotiate with the lender or landlord.
A loan workout may involve discussions about repayment terms and other modifications based on the company’s circumstances. Battleson Law can also assist with issues involving commercial loans, SBA loans, commercial real estate loans, refinancings, and certain lease workouts. Because defaults may raise concerns involving collateral, personal guarantees, acceleration provisions, or other contractual remedies, business owners should understand their agreements and available options before deciding how to respond. Contact Battleson Law to schedule a consultation and discuss the circumstances affecting your business.
