General Counsel
General Counsel Services for Atlanta Businesses and Organizations
Legal Strategy and Liability Awareness Without the Full-Time Cost
Running a business or organization in today’s environment means navigating a constant stream of legal, financial and reputational risks. But most businesses, especially small and mid-sized companies, don’t have the resources to hire a full-time in-house attorney. That’s where we can help.
At the Law Office of Cameron Hawkins, we offer general counsel services designed to meet the evolving legal needs of Atlanta businesses and nonprofits. Whether you’re handling contract negotiations, fielding employee concerns, updating internal policies, or facing a time-sensitive crisis, we help business leaders approach legal questions with clarity and confidence.
We act as your outside legal partner, offering ongoing legal support for your leadership team without the overhead of a salaried legal department. And because our roots are in liability defense, our guidance is always built around reducing exposure and protecting your long-term interests.
Tailored General Counsel Services for Growing Businesses
Legal Audits & Risk Assessments
We can perform in-depth legal audits to identify areas of vulnerability, whether that’s outdated employment policies, insufficient contracts, or inconsistent compliance procedures. Our business attorneys will evaluate both your internal documentation and your external exposures and provide actionable guidance and solutions for protecting your business or organization.
Contract Review & Negotiation Support
Every agreement your business signs carries risk. We provide careful contract review and help you negotiate better terms with vendors, partners and service providers. From commercial leases and NDAs to licensing agreements and long-term service contracts, we help ensure your business is protected from clauses that could expose you to future litigation.
Employment & HR Legal Guidance
Workplace disputes are among the most common sources of liability for employers. We help business owners and HR teams create clear, enforceable employment policies that align with current Georgia and federal labor laws. If you’re facing internal complaints, leave requests, or terminations, we’ll help you respond appropriately and legally.
Governance, Policy Development & Compliance
We work with founders, executives and board members to shape governance documents that define how decisions are made and risks are managed. If your business has shareholders, silent investors or a formal board structure, we help ensure roles and procedures are clearly outlined. Ensuring all parties understand their legal obligations and protections is important for long-term risk reduction.
Crisis Response & Reputational Protection
Sometimes a single issue, such as internal misconduct, public complaints, an injury claim or a vendor dispute, can trigger serious legal and reputational fallout. When your business is under scrutiny, having a dedicated legal partner to help you respond promptly and appropriately is critical. We can step in immediately to help control the narrative, preserve key documents and defend your legal standing before the matter escalates.

Why Work With an Outside General Counsel?
Hiring an independent general counsel is about more than just saving money. It’s about aligning legal support with your business strategy. Our firm provides direct access to experienced commercial attorneys who understand liability exposure from both sides—defense and prevention.
Unlike attorneys who only jump in after a lawsuit is filed, we help prevent those situations from happening in the first place. Our approach is proactive, practical and grounded in the day-to-day realities of business ownership. We don’t give abstract legal theory—we give you options.
Serving All Types of Atlanta Businesses, Nonprofits and Organizations
Our general counsel model is ideal for Atlanta-based companies and nonprofits that want consistent, on-call legal guidance without committing to a full-time hire. We regularly partner with Executive Directors, COOs, HR managers, operations leaders and board chairs who need trustworthy legal insight to make informed decisions.
Whether you’re a small business scaling fast, a family-owned company facing new compliance requirements, or an established operation that’s outgrown its DIY legal approach, we can help fill the gap with dependable legal strategy and support.
