Miller & Martin announced today that attorney Jeff Cunningham has joined the firm as a member, bringing additional depth to the firm’s General Counsel Services and Emerging Business practice groups within its Corporate Department. With approximately 20 years of experience in representing entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes, Mr. Cunningham will also serve as a Vice-Chair of Miller & Martin’s Corporate Department. 

Mr. Cunningham focuses his legal practice on serving as outside corporate counsel to mid-sized businesses. He advises clients, from entrepreneurs and start-ups to large privately held companies, through all phases of the business lifecycle, including choice of entity, business plan development, capital raising, debt and equity financing, ownership agreements, commercial transactions, joint ventures and exit strategies. 

“During 2017, our firm established a practice group focused on general counsel services to small and medium-sized businesses. While we have always offered these services, we identified a need for enhancing and formalizing these existing offerings in the markets we serve. We are confident that our clients will benefit from the range of experience and the client base that Jeff brings to our firm,” stated Shelby Grubbs, managing member of the Atlanta office. “Jeff has a proven track record of delivering efficient and tailored services to emerging companies. Jeff is a great addition to the firm and to our leadership team.” 

Mr. Cunningham will also concentrate a portion of his practice in the firm’s significant practice areas of mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and corporate finance. He has worked and will continue to work with business clients across such diverse industries as manufacturing, distribution, business and professional services, staffing, residential and commercial construction, as well as a variety of technology businesses and Internet-of-Things ventures. 

Prior to joining Miller & Martin, Mr. Cunningham was a partner with Seyfarth Shaw. A Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Mr. Cunningham received his J.D. from Georgia State University College of Law, an M.B.A. from Georgia State University Robinson College of Business and his B.S. in Economics from Vanderbilt University.
