Welcome

The Ratliff Firm has locations in Sevierville, Knoxville, and Johnson City, Tennessee. Our attorneys focus their practice on advising clients on estate and business planning matters, and related areas of law, such as trusts, asset protection, intellectual property and tax planning. Representative engagements span from clients with common estate planning issues served by conventional solutions, to clients with multi-million dollar estates needing involved and complicated trust and business structures. We have advised small and intermediate business clients on a range of issues, including business formation and succession, capitalization and financing, and risk management, among others. Multi-national entities have looked to us to lower their global tax rate by creating entities and mechanisms for global fiscal strategies and succession. We seek to build long-term relationships with our clients by understanding our clients' goals, identifying the issues our clients are facing, and providing sound, creative, and efficient solutions to help our clients reach their goals.
