The firm specializes in Employment Law and Corporate Transactions, serving as outside general counsel for numerous Atlanta businesses. They are experts in Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), having successfully guided clients through dozens of complex sales and purchases, particularly in industries like landscaping, construction, and technology. Beyond transactions, Shepherd Law provides robust representation in employment matters, helping employers navigate discrimination claims, restrictive covenants, and wage and hour compliance.
