Expanded Scope of Georgia’s Business Court

Effective July 1, 2026, George expanded access to its state-wide business court.  Below is a summary:

  • Expanded jurisdiction of the Business Court under O.C.G.A. § 15-5A-3
  • Mandatory or exclusive forum provisions for certain corporate disputes
  • New and streamlined transfer and removal mechanisms under O.C.G.A. § 15-5A-4
  • Increased ability for businesses to access a specialized forum for complex disputes

Thank you to Philadelphia attorney and national business courts expert Lee Applebaum for bringing this to my attention.
