Business & Corporate Law

Business & Corporate Law Attorneys Serving Clients Nationwide

Every company reaches points where the legal decision and the business decision are the same decision: how to form, what to sign, what to protect, when to expand, and when to walk away. Kaufman & Hilbert PC advises companies and their owners across that full arc, from formation and governance through commercial agreements, intellectual property, cross-border transactions, and exit. Based in Alpharetta, Georgia, and serving clients nationwide and internationally, the firm operates as outside general counsel for growing businesses and as specialized counsel on the transactions that define them. The senior attorney you meet at your consultation is the attorney who handles your matter.

What This Practice Covers

Our business and corporate attorneys handle entity formation and structuring, corporate governance and shareholder arrangements, mergers and acquisitions, the commercial contracts a business runs on day to day, protection and licensing of intellectual property, inbound and outbound international transactions, and the specialized deal work of the entertainment industry. When a business matter becomes a dispute, the same attorneys work alongside the firm’s litigation team, which means the people who negotiated the agreement are still on the file when someone breaches it.

Practice areas in this group

  • Corporate & Business Law. Formation, governance, M&A, and outside general counsel services for companies at every stage.
  • Commercial Transaction Law. The agreements your business runs on: supply, services, distribution, licensing, and purchase contracts.
  • International Business Law. Cross-border transactions, inbound U.S. investment, and international commercial agreements.
  • Intellectual Property. Trademark, copyright, trade secret, and licensing counsel to protect the value behind your brand.
  • Entertainment. Contracts, rights, clearance, and business structure for artists, creators, producers, and production companies.

Who We Serve

We work with founders launching a first entity, established companies managing governance and growth, investors and boards, family and closely held businesses navigating succession, international companies entering the U.S. market, and creators and production companies building businesses around their work. What they share is a preference for counsel who answers the phone, understands the commercial reality behind the legal question, and does not hand the file to someone junior.
