John L. Watkins
Business and Business Insurance Coverage LawyerI currently practice in the areas of business and insurance law. I work with international companies or their U.S. subsidiaries, as well as domestic companies. My experience includes representing equipment and machinery manufacturers and dealers, professional services companies, utilities, and many other businesses. I handle negotiating and drafting equipment supply contracts, non-disclosure agreements, terms and conditions and other business contracts. I practiced for many years in the field of commercial litigation. I no longer handle active litigation matters. I am a registered mediator in Georgia and am available to mediate commercial disputes. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Georgia School of Law. I have been rated AV by Martindale-Hubbell for many years and have been on the list of Georgia Super Lawyers since 2008. I teach the Insurance Law course as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Georgia School of Law.
