A corporate attorney's services encompass an enormous area of the law. The term itself is a bit on the broad side, so here are additional categories to help you pick the right kind of corporate attorney for your individual needs.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of areas of legal practice encompassed within the category of corporate law. Some items have links to relevant informational web sites that have more detailed information on the subject:
Formation/Dissolution of Business Entities:
Deals with setting up corporations (private or 'closely held' corporations vs. those with publicly offerings), limited liability companies (LLC), general and limited partnerships, sole proprietorships, joint ventures, etc.
Mergers & Acquisitions:
Atlanta area attorneys dealing with this sub-specialty are primarily engaged by the larger corporations’ in-house legal departments. Among other things, they deal with statutory (securities laws) and regulatory (SEC-promulgated rules) compliance, antitrust law, and state and federal corporation codes.
Shareholders of a corporation who, for one reason or another, need to sue directors of their corporation on behalf of the corporation cannot sue them in their individual capacities. Under long-standing rules of civil procedure and the “common” (i.e., judge-made) law of most jurisdictions in the US, such shareholders must institute what is known as a “shareholder derivative action.”
Securities Litigation:
Private investors who were damaged by a corporation’s improper securities transaction or by an improper or fraudulent claim made in a corporation’s prospectus issued to potential investors, or by an incomplete disclosure during a corporation’s initial public offering would want to seek out a competent and experienced securities litigation attorney. The field also encompasses investigations by government regulatory entities in cases of violations of securities laws and criminal proceedings by the United States department of Justice, as in the case of Enron, for example...(read more)
Asset Protection:
Deals with the use of offshore corporations and trusts to shield a person’s property from easy attachment by frivolous law suits and legal tax avoidance (as compared to illegal tax evasion) purposes. It involves the selection and utilization of various offshore “tax havens” or financial privacy havens and often the creation of complex corporate structures, sometimes to conceal assets or to make them inaccessible to potential plaintiffs.
