Krevolin & Horst

What Krevolin & Horst does

Krevolin & Horst is an Atlanta-based business law firm founded in 1996 that provides litigation, corporate/M&A, intellectual property, real estate, crisis management, whistleblower/qui tam, white collar criminal defense, and education law services to clients across the United States. The firm serves Fortune 100 companies, publicly traded firms, middle-market and closely held businesses, government entities, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs, with engagement scope ranging from complex business litigation and employment defense to M&A transactions, securities matters, and internal investigations. Notable matters include a defense verdict in Avnet v. Wyle Labs (against $300M+ in claimed damages), an 80%+ success rate on appeals, and involvement in transactional matters including a $260M bond closing and a $200M company sale.

The firm operates on a professional services revenue model from legal fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed but positioned by the firm as competitive with large law firm alternatives due to a low-overhead structure and efficient deployment of personnel and technology. Its go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven: new business primarily arrives via referrals from general counsels and peer lawyers, supplemented by directory and earned-media recognition (Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Legal 500, Georgia Trend Legal Elite, Forbes Top 200 Lawyers). The Primerus network affiliation provides nationwide and global coverage through partner law firms. In February 2025, the firm transitioned to a woman-owned leadership structure with three Co-Managing Partners (Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, Joyce Gist Lewis, and Cristiane Wolfe); more than half of the firm's lawyers are women.

The practice is headquartered at One Atlantic Center in Midtown Atlanta, with approximately 40+ attorneys including partners, associates, of counsel, counsel, and special counsel. The underlying technology footprint is conventional: a WordPress website under Cloudflare CDN with no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI/ML products. Distribution is direct to enterprise clients from the Atlanta office, with channel-based national reach via Primerus. The firm holds no external institutional ownership and is structured as a Georgia LLC.
