Introduction
The goal of this project is to assist a lawyer who wants to set up a corporation for his client. It is also useful for a lawyer who wants to start his own business as a solo-practitioner. The scope of this project ranges from the basic requirements of forming a corporation to the factors one should consider while operating a corporation. One of the primary reasons doing business as a corporation is to shield oneself from liability against torts, breach of contract cases and the like. Therefore, this project will also give a short overview of corporate law in how the "shield" of limited liability is created, and possibly lost under Georgia law.
A good resource in addition to this project is the Secretary of State's website. Specifically, http://www.sos.state.ga.us/firststop has a nice pamphlet that compliments this project nicely.
