Business and corporate counsel for Kennesaw businesses.
Skandalakis & Ross provides business and corporate counsel to companies in Kennesaw and across metro Atlanta. The practice is led by Jack N. Ross, who forms and structures companies, drafts the agreements owners sign with each other, negotiates the contracts a business runs on, and represents buyers and sellers when a company changes hands.
Kennesaw's commercial corridor near Town Center supports retail, logistics, and service companies of every size. In Kennesaw, we regularly see businesses in retail, logistics, and construction and trades, each with its own contract, diligence, and structuring issues.
A business lawyer is most valuable before something goes wrong. The operating agreement, the buy-sell terms, and the customer contracts decide how a dispute plays out years later, and our litigation practice sees exactly what a missing clause costs. We draft with that in mind.
The firm’s offices are in Canton, Georgia and Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment). We meet Kennesaw 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.

The Corporate Practice overviewAbout Jack N. RossOur attorneys
Business & Corporate lawyer questions from Kennesaw clients.
What does a business lawyer do for a Kennesaw company?
Forms and structures the company, writes the agreements the owners sign with each other, negotiates customer and vendor contracts, and handles acquisitions, sales, and real estate. The goal is paper that prevents disputes rather than paper that starts them.
LLC or corporation?
It depends on owners, payroll, investors, and exit plans. We coordinate the entity and tax classification with your CPA so the legal and tax answers match.
Is a business lawyer different from a corporate lawyer?
For most privately held companies, no. Both terms describe counsel on entity structure, governance, contracts, and transactions, which is exactly what this practice does.
Do you meet with Kennesaw clients in person?
The firm’s offices are in Canton, Georgia and Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment). We meet Kennesaw clients at the Canton office, by video, or at your place of business.
Is a Georgia attorney involved in my matter?
