Contracts and Technology Law

Accomplished Contract, Software, and Technology Law Attorney in Alpharetta, Georgia

Alpharetta is a northern suburb of Atlanta known as Georgia's Golden Corridor. Alpharetta and neighbor Cumming, Georgia are home to many software, technology, and communications corporations.

The area is an incubator for high-tech innovations and a place where ideas have a way of turning into dreams. The individuals who work here are smart, ambitious and very energetic - all the characteristics of people who can't wait to leverage their concepts and start their own companies.

The area is also blessed with three hospitals, and about to add a fourth. As a result, there are many physicians' practices, and the doctors, scientists, and engineers regularly consult with the Firm regarding their business, partnership, employment, software development, and technology issues.

Parts of Alpharetta and Cumming are within Forsyth County, Georgia. Forsyth County has been ranked No. 2 in Georgia among Forbes' "Best Places to Get Ahead" and among the "Wealthiest Counties." With its sky-high quality of life and commitment to smart growth and continued progress, Forsyth is especially attractive to independent businesses, entrepreneurs, and those in the technology, medical, finance, and retail industries. The county is also home to 30 international companies, half of which have established their North American headquarters in Forsyth.

That is why The Fernandez Law Firm has such an established presence in the legal areas of contracts, IT, IP, and technology: There are plenty of Clients and potential Clients to serve, and we are good at providing exactly what these companies need.

Technology, IT, IP, and Software Agreements

The Fernandez Law Firm is frequently called upon to prepare many types of technology, IT, IP, and internet contracts such as software development agreements, project development agreements, and licensing agreements.

Technology, and intellectual property agreements have their own specific issues, and we help Clients understand and address them properly.

Contracts

The Fernandez Law Firm prepares and reviews contracts and business agreements with an eye to fine detail and a thorough understanding of all the legal implications those details carry. Each agreement is tailored to the specific needs of our Client.

What our Clients often realize is that a properly drafted contract or agreement with strong remedies is usually the best way to ensure cooperation and payment, and can avoid costly litigation altogether.

The area is also blessed with three hospitals, and about to add a fourth. As a result, there are many physicians' and medical practices, and the doctors regularly consult with the Firm regarding their business issues which often include: new corporations and limited liability companies (LLC); partner agreements, shareholder agreements, operating agreements, and buy-sell agreements; employment contracts and employee matters; commercial real estate and equipment leases.

Perhaps even more importantly, a file cabinet of strong contracts and strong policies will maximize the value of the business at the time of sale, because (1) the business's key revenue-producing contracts are secure, and (2) the business is unlikely to suffer costly litigation.

We frequently prepare employment agreements with the four restrictive covenants recognized by Georgia courts in the area of employment law: non-disclosure of confidential information, (NDA) non-competition, non-solicitation of customers, and non-solicitation of employees.
