Maple Bridge Law

The deal team of a large firm. The attention of a small one.

We represent companies, funds, lenders, investors and developers across Georgia and Alabama, from term sheet to closing.

Our attorneys come from large firms and corporate legal departments, with experience in mergers, securities offerings, fund launches, loan workouts and real estate development. Many clients use us as outsourced in-house counsel, and on real estate deals our title agency, Jenkins Title, closes in the same office.
