John William Nelson
I’m an attorney admitted in Georgia, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and the District of Columbia. I help founders form Georgia LLCs and corporations — and stay out of the disputes that come from forming the wrong entity, or the right entity with the wrong documents.
I work with single-founder businesses, multi-founder teams, real-estate holding companies, and Benefit Corporations. After formation, many of my clients move into our Outside Counsel Service Plan for ongoing legal counsel on contracts, capital raises, employee equity, and the day-to-day legal questions that come up as a business grows.

How We Work
Our typical engagement structure for new entity formation:
- Initial Consultation (30 minutes, via Zoom video conference, paid). We talk through what you’re forming, who’s involved, what’s planned, and where the risks are. I give you a recommendation in writing.
- Engagement Letter. If we both want to work together, I send an engagement letter describing the scope and the retainer.
- Trust Deposit. The retainer is paid into our IOLTA trust account. Work is billed against that retainer at the agreed hourly rate.
- Formation Work. Articles filed, operating agreement drafted, EIN obtained, post-formation compliance set up, founder stock issued (where applicable), 83(b) elections filed (where applicable), banking documents prepared.
- Closing Binder. All documents go into a closing binder you keep — physical, digital, or both.
For ongoing matters after formation, the Outside Counsel Service Plan provides a flat monthly, quarterly, or annual fee in exchange for standby legal counsel. Details on the Services and Pricing page.
