Outside general counsel counsel for Johns Creek businesses.
Skandalakis & Ross serves as outside general counsel to companies in Johns Creek and across north metro Atlanta. Led by Jack N. Ross, the engagement covers contract review and negotiation, templates and playbooks, employment and contractor agreements, and the week-to-week questions a growing company runs into, on a defined scope agreed in writing.
Johns Creek is home to a large community of owner-operated companies in technology, healthcare, and professional services. In Johns Creek, we regularly see businesses in technology, healthcare and life sciences, and professional services, each with its own contract, diligence, and structuring issues.
The cheapest legal work a company ever buys is the contract reviewed before signature. Counsel who already knows your business can answer the afternoon question in minutes, spot the issue inside a new deal before it becomes a dispute, and bring in the firm’s trial practice without a handoff if a matter turns adversarial.
The firm’s offices are in Canton, Georgia and Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment). We meet Johns Creek clients at the Canton office, by video, or at your place of business. Jack N. Ross is licensed to practice law in Florida. Georgia-law matters are handled together with Mitch Skandalakis, the firm’s Georgia-licensed attorney.

Outside General Counsel overviewAbout Jack N. RossOur attorneys
Outside General Counsel questions from Johns Creek clients.
What does outside general counsel cost for a Johns Creek company?
Typically a monthly engagement with a defined scope, or hourly work under a written estimate, agreed before work begins. The point is predictability: legal review as an operating cost rather than a crisis cost.
Is my company too small for outside general counsel?
If you are signing contracts, hiring people, or taking on customers of any size, no. The engagement scales to the company, and early-stage clients often start with contract review alone.
What happens if a dispute starts?
The firm’s litigation practice, led by trial attorney Mitch Skandalakis, steps in with counsel who already knows your contracts and your business.
Do you meet with Johns Creek clients in person?
The firm’s offices are in Canton, Georgia and Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment). We meet Johns Creek clients at the Canton office, by video, or at your place of business.
Is a Georgia attorney involved in my matter?
