ATLANTA, GA, June 04, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Many businesses, especially startups, small businesses and medium-sized businesses, often find themselves embroiled in legal disputes and facing legal risks that could have been easily avoided. Although the mistakes could have been avoided, businesses make them repeatedly.
John L. Watkins, a veteran business litigator business lawyer at Chorey, Taylor & Feil in Atlanta, has just released a podcast addressing these issues. The podcast is entitled "Common Legal Mistakes Businesses Make and How to Avoid Them," and is based on a presentation Mr. Watkins recently made to the Chamblee, GA Business Association. The podcast starts with the "prime directive," which is that it is always cheaper to address a legal issue on the front end than to try to fix it on the back end, and then covers eight other common mistakes that businesses make, including failure to recognize the risks associated with sales talk, failure to understand implied warranties, and failure to understand key contractual provisions. Mr. Watkins said, "What prompted me to develop this presentation and podcast is that we keep seeing businesses make the same mistakes over and over. Often, we see small companies engaged in what is, for them, bet the company litigation, or close to it, and the whole issue could have been avoided with a little professional attention on the front end." The series is available free of charge on the firm's website, http://www.ctflegal.com/podcasts.html, or http://www.ctflegal.blip.tv.

At Chorey, Taylor & Feil, a Professional Corporation, we mean business. Serving Georgia, national, and international companies, we provide corporate and business litigation services to a highly diversified client base, ranging from new ventures to middle market companies to the Fortune 500.
CTF strives to provide hands-on service by experienced attorneys using a common sense, business-oriented approach. We have purposely avoided the "leverage" model adopted by many other law firms so that our shareholders and senior attorneys remain directly involved in matters. CTF's size allows us to be nimble, though we are able to bring substantial resources to bear when needed. Our goal is to be truly accessible and responsible to our clients.
Many of our lawyers graduated at the top of their class in law school and received prestigious academic awards. Many were previously partners at some of the largest law firms in the country, who instead chose to work at CTF because of its unique approach and environment.
Our lawyers have also been recognized by their peers. Six of our attorneys were named to the list of "Georgia Super Lawyers" for 2008 & 2009 published by Law and Politics and Atlanta Magazine. The Super Lawyers list is based on a survey of Georgia lawyers and is limited to the top five percent of attorneys. Each of our lawyers who has been peer review rated by the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory has an "AV" rating, which is the highest available rating.
