Lawyers Financial Tools in Georgia — FAQ
Do law firms in Georgia need a separate business bank account?
Yes — Georgia attorneys are required to maintain an IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers' Trust Account) for client funds, separate from their operating account. This is a core ethical requirement enforced by the State Bar of Georgia.
What type of business entity should a law firm use in Georgia?
Most Georgia law firms operate as a PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company), PC (Professional Corporation), or LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). Filing fee is $110 for an LLC/PLLC. Check with the State Bar of Georgia for entity restrictions.
What banking features matter most for Georgia law firms?
Law firms in Georgia need IOLTA-compliant trust accounting, easy separation of client and operating funds, robust transaction tracking for billing, and ideally integration with practice management software. AI bookkeeping can automate trust reconciliation.
Can Georgia lawyers use online-only banks?
Yes, but your IOLTA account must be held at an institution approved by the State Bar of Georgia. Many online banks qualify, but verify IOLTA eligibility before opening. Your operating account can be at any bank.
