Dan Wright’s Summary

Dan provides general business legal services in the fields of commercial real estate, entity formation and governance, joint venture/equity structure arrangements, intellectual property, and various other transactional practice areas. Dan has experience working with organizations both large and small to achieve their goals and understands their different organizational and business needs. Because he started his career in litigation, Dan also appreciates the pragmatic aspects of agreement enforceability and cost-driven decisions. Dan keeps the focus on the client’s business rather than legal minutiae.

Dan’s other primary field of practice is estate planning, particularly focusing on trust establishment and estate tax avoidance. Dan has given several seminars (in-house and via invitation) concerning such issues as basic estate planning and Georgia’s new advance directive for healthcare. Dan particularly enjoys the aspect of teaching his clients the ins and outs of estate planning, as with a few simple moves, a lot of money and emotional pain can be avoided.

Dan's partner Sherry V. Neal offers legal services in the field of adoption.

Dan is a member in good standing of the State Bar of Georgia and the Dekalb Bar Association. Dan has also served as an officer in his neighborhood association and currently provides legal advice on a pro bono basis to that organization.

Dan graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia School of Law. During his time in law school, Dan was on the editorial and managing boards of the Georgia Law Review and active in student government. Dan also interned in the summer of 1998 for U.S. Magistrate Judge Gerrilyn G. Brill, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia. Dan graduated from Trinity University, located in San Antonio, Texas, in 1996 with a B.A. in Economics.
