Every creator or business owner reaches a point where they need legal clarity — whether it’s forming an LLC, drafting a contract, resolving a dispute, or protecting their intellectual property. The challenge is finding a law firm that understands your world without overwhelming you with jargon.
At The Geek Lawyer, we blend professional legal experience with real involvement in geek culture. We support artists, convention organizers, indie studios, podcasters, vendors, designers, cosplayers, makers, content creators, and small businesses across the creative spectrum.
Our goal is simple: give you the legal protection and guidance you need, in language you actually understand.
Every successful venture — from an Etsy shop to a game studio to a fast-growing convention — is built on a strong legal foundation. We guide creators and business owners through everything from choosing the right entity to drafting essential agreements to maintaining compliance as you grow.
We help you understand what your business needs, how to protect yourself, and how to stay compliant with (Georgia’s) legal requirements. Whether you’re forming an LLC, negotiating vendor contracts, or establishing internal policies, we make the process simple and approachable.
Common support includes:
Contracts are the backbone of creative and business relationships. Intellectual property is the heart of your creative identity. We help you protect both.
Whether you’re publishing a book, commissioning artwork, licensing a game mechanic, collaborating with a voice actor, or hiring contractors, you need clear agreements that safeguard your interests. We draft, review, and negotiate contracts tailored to your creative or business goals — always in plain English.
Typical areas of support include:
Whether you’re running a business, launching a creative project, organizing an event, or simply need clarity before making a big decision, we’re here to help.
Creators and fandom-adjacent businesses rely on strong legal protection for their work, collaborations, and creative identities. Entertainment and media law covers everything from copyrighting original characters to licensing audio to negotiating content deals — and we help navigate these areas with clarity and confidence.
Because we understand creative workflows, content production, and community dynamics, we’re able to provide practical guidance that fits your industry. Whether you’re producing a podcast, designing a game, running a YouTube channel, illustrating comics, or building an indie project with collaborators, we ensure your rights stay protected.
Topics we frequently handle:
As your business grows, you may begin hiring employees or working with contractors. Employment law can be surprisingly complex — especially for small businesses, agencies, studios, or event organizations that are new to workforce management.
We help you build compliant, fair, and transparent systems that protect both you and your team. Whether you need agreements, policies, classifications, or help navigating Georgia and federal employment rules, we make sure you’re set up safely and legally.
We commonly support with:
Disputes happen — with partners, vendors, clients, collaborators, contractors, or even attendees at events. When they do, you need a legal strategy that protects your interests while minimizing disruption to your creative work or business operations.
We focus on resolving conflicts efficiently, professionally, and with minimal stress. Sometimes that means negotiation or mediation; other times, stronger action is required. Either way, we help you understand your rights, your options, and the path forward.
