Practice Areas

Atlanta Business, Real Estate and Construction Law Attorneys

At Rachelson & White, P.C., we handle many different types of cases, providing each of our clients with personal care and attention. We offer a combination of vigorous and experienced advocacy in these principal practice areas:

Business Litigation

We manage business disputes and resolve them efficiently, drawing on our courtroom skills and experience in both trial and appellate work. We help to minimize the disruptive effect litigation can have on a business. One way we accomplish this is by pursuing focused dispute resolution. Contact our office to find a positive solution that meets your needs without delay.

Construction Law and Litigation

We've built our practice by representing a variety of parties with construction-related issues: property owners, contractors, subcontractors, construction managers, sureties, developers, design professionals, material suppliers, and insurers. Our lawyers know how to draft the legal documentation required in any construction project, including contracts, mechanics and materialmen's liens, and the various documents necessary for proper and effective statutory compliance with Georgia's lien laws. We also handle quiet title actions.

Our experience covers all aspects of the construction process, including:

• Bidding
• Contract formation
• Notices of commencement and notices to contractors
• Contract performance
• Mechanic's and materialmen's liens
• Interim and final lien waivers and notices of contest lien
• Construction defects
• Insurance and warranty issues
• Claims and dispute resolution

Collections and Debt Resolution

For many small businesses, efficient and successful collection of accounts is of the utmost importance to their company's bottom line. At Rachelson & White, we strive to deliver our clients both efficiency and work that meet the highest standards, while finding the most effective collection solutions.

Our knowledge of collection methods spans a wide spectrum, including mechanics' liens and materialmen's liens, bond claims, and statutory notices to contractors, all the while using information and documents in an effective and successful way.

For individuals facing problems with debt, we provide personal property foreclosure services to protect your interests either before or after bankruptcy proceedings.

Employment Law

Your company's employment contracts, non-competition agreements and employee handbooks are too important to be left to chance. Poorly prepared, these can wreak havoc on a business. Employers are not always aware of the legal ramifications of what they say or write in a handbook until it is too late. Potential problems may be caused by even a minor, seemingly innocuous misjudgment in the writing of these documents.

Our attorneys have nearly 35 years of experience in drafting employment agreements and personnel handbooks, and well as in litigating disputes involving these documents when necessary. Rachelson & White will help you protect your business and your relationship with your employees.

Corporate and Transactional Law

At Rachelson & White, the first order of our business is to get to know your business. We work with you to understand your business goals, challenges and strategies. We provide practical, innovative and effective solutions to business problems and manage complex transactions. We offer sound advice and creative solutions to foster the success of our business clients.

We counsel clients from initial business formation through growth, maturity and divestiture. We draft and negotiate contracts, structure employment agreements, create succession plans, and evaluate the rights and duties of shareholders, officers and directors. For closely-held businesses, we custom tailor capital structures, provide guidance in entity choices, structure ownership transfer, create buy-sell agreements, and structure family limited partnerships.
