The Emory Factor
“Emory – He’s an institution!”
-- Donna Wilson
The fact of the matter is that Emory has an enormous amount of knowledge and experience in a “been there, done that” sort of way. His expertise and wisdom go far beyond creating powers of attorney, wills, trusts, estate plans, and other documents. His keen perspective and empathy allow him to see through the opacity of most issues, whether they are business or personal. He is able to see the ramifications of legal, financial, business, and many personal actions 50 years beyond the present. Emory's historical knowledge gives him the perspective to address the possible legal developments that may have an impact on this clients' wealth.
Rather than resign to the status quo and “that’s the way it is” answers, Emory taps his infinite conceptual thinking, does his own research, and develops answers and solutions that are innovative and sound.
Emory has several times turned on his charismatic charm to triple the size of business networking groups. He gets standing ovations for speakers who have never experienced one. Entrepreneurs and emerging business leaders turn to Emory for mentoring, to absorb as much as they can of his extraordinary wealth of knowledge and ingenious strategy. His historical knowledge on many subjects related to law, business, and beyond enable him to provide unique perspectives to those who look up to him.
As with his mentoring, Emory is sought after for his wealth of business knowledge. His experience as a venture capitalist, business experience, extensive networking, and continuing education enable him to provide guidance through his broad and expanding knowledge base.
For real estate investors, Emory provides legal services to establish the appropriate legal entities for investors’ projects, and he provides legal services related to capital funding of projects.
As a landowner, venture capitalist, and impromptu historian, Emory naturally has been drawn to real estate investment and new, exciting uses for commercial property. He has lead teams exploring options for buying and renovating hotels, for commercial property redevelopment, and for resort property development. His process for evaluating and determining the viability of potential projects is thorough, and for each project, the legal structure and the business potential are critical factors.
Emory can work with clients on the legal structure of charitable giving. As for his own charitable works, in addition to his charitable monetary contributions, he is very generous with his time. He serves his church, his business groups, his writing-related organizations, as well as his friends and family.
