Profile
Strategic Business and Real Estate Counsel
Downs Law, LLC is a specialized boutique law firm located in the vibrant Glenwood Park neighborhood of Atlanta. Founded in 2013 by William ‘Will’ Downs, the firm was established to provide a more personal, cost-effective alternative to the large ‘big law’ firms where he began his career. Downs Law focuses exclusively on the needs of business owners, landlords, and real estate investors. Unlike general practice firms that dabble in many areas, this team dedicates its energy to mastering the complexities of commercial real estate and business litigation. Their approach is built on transparency and long-term partnership; they view themselves not just as legal fixers, but as strategic advisors who help clients avoid pitfalls and maximize the value of their assets.
Commercial Real Estate Expertise
The firm is a powerhouse for commercial property matters, offering a full suite of services designed to protect investments. Their expertise includes:
- Lease Negotiation: Drafting and reviewing robust commercial leases for office, retail, and industrial spaces to prevent future disputes.
- Landlord/Tenant Disputes: Representing commercial landlords in evictions, lease enforcement, and collections when tenants fail to pay.
- Real Estate Litigation: Handling complex disputes over property lines, easements, and breach of purchase agreements.
- Construction Law: Advising developers and contractors on contracts and resolving payment disputes or defect claims.
Business Solutions
Beyond real estate, Downs Law serves as outside general counsel for many small to mid-sized Atlanta businesses. They handle:
- Business Litigation: resolving partnership disputes, breach of contract cases, and ‘business divorce’ scenarios.
- Debt Collection: aggressively pursuing unpaid commercial debts and enforcing judgments to help businesses improve their cash flow.
- Startup Counsel: assisting entrepreneurs with entity formation, operating agreements, and risk management strategies.
A Modern Approach to Law
Downs Law prides itself on being ‘Personal, Thoughtful, and Forward-Thinking.’ They leverage modern technology to streamline the legal process, offering flat-fee options for certain services like lease reviews to provide predictable pricing. Will Downs is deeply involved in the community, volunteering with the State Bar of Georgia’s Access to Justice Committee and the Georgia Innocence Project. This commitment to ethics and service permeates every aspect of the firm’s practice.
