Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Atlanta Employment Attorneys

Our experienced Atlanta employment attorneys & lawyers can help guide you on how to proceed with various employee decisions such as reviewing employee documents such as contracts, agreements, policies, and handbooks, along with difficult decisions such as firing, lawsuits, claims, and complaints.

Although not every single employment contract will require legal assistance, many employment lawyers would recommend avoiding unilateral employment contracts that strongly benefit one side over the other. These types of employee contracts rarely hold up in court, yet having the funds needed to combat an issue in court can limit the employee’s options.

A confidentiality agreement and a non-compete agreement are common forms of employee contracts that one of our Atlanta employment attorneys can help customize for your business. If your business needs to fire an employee, proper measures should be taken from a business legal standpoint to ensure proper communication and a smooth transition of dismissing that employee. In any case, we suggest you connect with our employment attorneys to discuss your options.

What is a Confidentiality Agreement?

A confidentiality agreement is a legally binding contract that states two parties will not share or profit from confidential information.

How to Hire a Contractor in California

  • 9 min read

Understanding how to hire a contractor in California is necessary if you need help with an important business project but don't want to hire a full-time employee. Hiring a contractor (also known as an independent contractor) is to hire any non-employee who provides you with a service. Examples can include non-employee software engineers, accountants, marketing consultants, and lawyers. Hiring a consultant requires defining the relationship, the expected work and payment, and ensuring that work product is properly assigned to the company.

A Guide on How to Hire an Independent Contractor in California.

An independent contractor is someone who does work for your business but isn't actually a company employee. Virtually every business makes use of contractors at some point, and while hiring a contractor may seem simple, you actually need to be very careful so that you can make sure you're getting the right person for your job. Fortunately, by following

Stock Warrants

  • 10 min read

What Is a Stock Warrant?

A stock warrant gives holders the option to buy company stock at a fixed price, the exercise price, until the expiration date and receive newly issued stock from the company. A stock warrant is similar to its better-known cousin, the stock option. For starters, recall that a stock option is a contract between two parties and gives the stockholder the right to buy or sell stocks at a certain price and on a certain date. When you buy a warrant, you are not locked in. You still have the right to freely decide to go forward with the purchase in the future.

Similarly, a stock warrant holder also has the right, to buy a specific number of shares of stock that will be created in the future, upon exercising the warrant, called “underlying” stock. That transaction is called “exercising” the option, and it must take place before a specific

Authorized Shares

  • 4 min read

What are Authorized Shares?

Authorized shares are the number of stock shares a company may issue to investors or employees at the time they incorporate and stock shares that the company board of directors may issue later as specified in the Articles of Incorporation.

Why Is Getting the Number of Authorized Shares Right Important?

Authorized shares can be issued when a company asks for financing. They may also be issued as a benefit for key employees. Usually, the number of shares that are authorized is much more than what is actually needed. This is to allow the company to issue stocks in the future when needed (as employee perks or perhaps as a secondary offering to raise more money). A company may refrain from issuing all of its authorized shares to maintain a controlling interest in the company and t
