Empowering Businesses and Families

Thrift McLemore is a dynamic and highly regarded law firm serving the Atlanta metropolitan area from its headquarters in the Cumberland business district. Founded in 2011 by attorneys Craig Thrift and Ryan McLemore, the firm was built on the idea that small and mid-sized businesses deserve the same level of sophisticated legal representation as Fortune 500 companies, but with more personal attention and efficiency. The firm has grown into a full-service practice that handles the diverse needs of entrepreneurs, property owners, and families. Whether it is structuring a complex merger, resolving a commercial real estate dispute, or crafting a comprehensive estate plan, the team at Thrift McLemore acts as a trusted partner in their clients' success.

The firm is particularly noted for its collaborative approach. Unlike traditional firms where attorneys work in silos, the lawyers at Thrift McLemore work together across practice areas to provide holistic solutions. For example, a business decision often has estate planning implications, and a real estate transaction might involve complex corporate tax issues. By integrating their expertise in Business Law, Real Estate Law, and Estate Planning, they ensure that every angle is covered. The firm is also a leader in franchise law and has been recognized by Chambers USA for its excellence in corporate and commercial law. Their modern, client-focused philosophy has made them a go-to firm for business owners and investors throughout Georgia.
