Corporate Transactions and Corporate Formations

At McConnell & Sneed, LLC, we offer sophisticated counsel to corporations and other businesses throughout the Atlanta metro area, the state of Georgia, and the nation. We work with businesses at all stages of development to ensure that business owners’ rights are protected and that business owners make legal decisions that protect their best interests.

The type of business organization you choose for your company or corporation is essential to its success. We strive to help businesses determine the best organizational structure to help meet their goals and future needs.

In the initial stages, we counsel business clients on the advantage of the different business forms and help them select the form that meets their needs. We can set up:

• Sole proprietorships
• General and limited partnerships
• Subchapter S or C corporations
• Non-profit corporations
• Limited liability enterprises (LLCs and LLPs)

Once a client selects a form of business organization, we prepare and file all the necessary documentation to establish the business as a legal entity under the laws of the state. On an ongoing basis, we advise businesses on maintenance of corporate records, including minute books, stock ledgers and other requirements. We can prepare all annual filings required to maintain a business in good standing.

We advise clients regarding any type of business-related contract. Our firm also provides qualified representation in a range of business transaction matters. An attorney at our firm can review existing agreements and draft all types of commercial contracts, including:

• Sales and marketing agreements
• Acquisitions
• Joint ventures
• Employment contracts
• Agency agreements
• Covenants not to compete and other restrictive covenants
