Tom helps business people handle business problems—avoiding them when possible, resolving them when sensible, and going to the mat to fight when necessary. He is an aggressive business litigator who specializes in the areas of technology, intellectual property, and real estate litigation. He routinely counsels clients in the areas of contract drafting and negotiation, data breach liability and response, and employment matters including non-competition and non-solicitation agreements. In addition, Tom often applies his business litigation skills to disputes in other sectors of the economy, in cases involving fraud, RICO, corporate governance and ownership, dissenter’s rights, unfair competition, and debtor-creditor issues.Tom’s technology and intellectual property practice involves trade secrets, trademarks and trade dress, copyright, infringement, unfair competition and other Lanham Act claims, defamation, social media policies and other issues, cybersquatting, email issues, data breaches, the Stored Communications Act (SCA), the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), the CAN-SPAM Act, as well as state laws and common law concerning privacy, technology, and intellectual property—all of which he discusses in his blog, the Georgia Business and Technology Litigation Blog (www.tomgrantblog.com). In Tom’s real estate and business litigation practice, he represents developers and other business people in matters concerning the purchase, sale, and management of consumer and commercial property, landlord-tenant issues, the defense of debtors against banks and other creditors, foreclosure, confirmation actions to establish deficiency claims against creditors after foreclosures, and condemnation. He also represents developers and other business clients in “business divorces” involving the breakup and division of their companies and in fights about the relative rights and obligations of business owners when disputes arise, or are at least looming unpleasantly on the horizon.
