Jeramie Fortenberry, J.D., LL.M.

Attorney

Experienced legal advisor specializing in comprehensive legal strategies for startup founders, integrating sophisticated estate, tax, and asset protection planning seamlessly with corporate legal structures.

My law firm has prepared thousands of deeds for government agencies and individuals across the United States.

My practice focuses on the intersection of trust and estate law and business law, helping startup founders protect their assets, minimize their tax liabilities, and structure their equity ownership for a legally protected and prosperous future.

I have significant expertise in deeds, trusts, quitclaim deeds, and lady bird deeds, providing clients with effective strategies for transferring property interests while maintaining control and maximizing asset protection.

I am also passionate about using technology to streamline and simplify the practice of law.

I have extensive experience in all phases of the legal product design process, from idea generation to customer validation to product launch.

I have served as the principal designer of legal software products that help attorneys automate the process of producing customized, sophisticated documents for their clients.

My work in the automated document assembly field allows me to leverage my expertise in tax, business, estate, and real estate law to create products that meet the needs of attorneys with document-driven practices.
