John T. Roberts

John Roberts is an associate in the firm’s Corporate + Transactional practice group. He assists businesses and their owners with mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, entity formation and other general corporate matters. John is particularly interested in working with small and midsize family-owned businesses and helping clients pursue transactions that reflect their business and personal goals.

John approaches each matter by first understanding the client’s objectives and the broader business context. He then develops an organized plan, studies the relevant documents carefully and considers both immediate solutions and issues that could arise during implementation. John strives to provide responsive, straightforward counsel and careful work that protects clients’ interests while helping transactions move efficiently toward closing.

John’s interest in transactional law grew from a mergers and acquisitions course at Mercer University School of Law, where he learned how attorneys can help business owners realize the value of companies they spent years building. Before joining the firm as an associate, John gained the unique perspective of working in each of James Bates’ three offices, gaining firsthand insight into the daily operations of a law firm.

After Hours

Outside the office, John enjoys golfing, fishing, hiking and watching Georgia football with his fiancée and their two dogs.
