Importance of protecting businesses
We understand the importance of protecting businesses that our clients have worked hard to build, and that disputes can be an unavoidable aspect in any industry. Whether our client’s company is large or small, commercial litigation can tie up resources, rack up unwanted expenses in court fees, and derail the momentum of the company. It’s essential to bring legal assistance early to cover all bases and protect the interests of the business.
Long, drawn-out commercial litigation is best circumvented by bringing in a qualified legal team that can effectively evaluate the business and the dispute at hand to create a strong action plan to bring about resolution swiftly.
Thrift McLemore has earned a high-caliber reputation for creative and rational representation, on par with that of the largest law firms in the region. Regardless of where the litigation stems from, our firm is dedicated to providing efficient and effective commercial litigation services to address our clients’ current legal concerns and to protect their future business interests.
Our Aim
Our aim is to tailor our legal strategies to both the client’s needs and the changing dynamics of each claim. We work closely with our clients to define the ideal “end goal” from the outset, so as not to unnecessarily prolong the timeline of a dispute. This is accomplished by focusing not just on the dispute at hand, but on careful review of our client’s background and needs, as well as looking at realistic outcomes that meet the goals and budget of each client.
In our end goal approach, the goal is not only to bring our clients out on top of the dispute but also to ensure that the goal is met most efficiently and cost-effectively. Success is about winning not just the case itself, but in protecting the resources of our clients so that they can quickly get back to business as usual once the matter is resolved. Our attorneys seek out early resolution through negotiation to achieve our clients’ goals whenever possible to protect their best interests. However, when negotiations do not lead to the desired outcome, our attorneys will take disputes to court to make that end goal a reality.
We also strive to ensure that our practices are in line with the size of the case itself, so that our firm assigns the right amount of resources to each case. This means no “over lawyering” by assigning too many attorneys to the case—by working with our clients to develop the end goal at the outset, we’re able to appropriately allocate resources so that each case is thoroughly prepared and achieves the optimal results without overburdening our clients.
Our End Goal Approach
Each claim brought to us by our clients is thoroughly investigated and skillfully negotiated. Our litigation process is to defend our clients aggressively to achieve our clients’ goals. Not only are our attorneys able to find creative solutions in building cases, but our courtroom abilities allow us to connect with those hearing the cases in Georgia courts.
While our attorneys are working to make our clients’ legal goals a reality, our clients can resume business operations as usual, giving each client peace of mind that their claims are being handled by a team of professionals looking out for their best interests.
Each client and legal dispute is unique, and our philosophy is guided by honoring the differences in every dispute so that we do not fall into a routine of making the same standard arguments that limit our clients’ chances at success. By honoring the differences, we’re able to apply out-of-the-box thinking to develop creative solutions that are balanced with a rational approach to ensure the highest levels of success.
While many law firms believe that time is not an issue for their clients, our litigation attorneys instead consider time and budget from the start.
However, keeping to our clients’ budgets does not mean a sacrifice in quality when it comes to preparedness and representation. Keeping our clients informed each step of the way is an important aspect of business for our firm, and if additional time is needed for a more complex case, our attorneys will always ensure that any changes to the budget are reviewed by the client for approval. This allows us to achieve client satisfaction throughout each matter and allows us to continue to strengthen client relationships at every opportunity.
Our commercial attorneys are also available for clients in need of counseling in litigation avoidance or assistance in closing commercial transactions. No matter the need, our firm rises to the occasion and works to alleviate clients’ stress by ensuring that they are being taken care of by a firm with their best interests in mind.
