Corrie Thrasher Bio

I am a small business attorney and Founder of Thrasher Law. As a business attorney, I understand how important my clients’ businesses are to them—and I work every day to show how important your business is to me. I want to know and understand the business that you lead. My years of experience and deep understanding of my clients’ businesses helps my clients obtain their goals.

As a former partner with a mid-size law firm, I specialized in the areas of banking and commercial real estate, with a concentration in secured lending. I represent lenders, including national and local banks, credit unions and retail finance clients in commercial lending matters, from loan origination, servicing, and coordination of loan extensions and modifications, through default, and negotiation of loan workouts. Now, I routinely represent clients in negotiating and closing complex commercial transactions, including: business sales and acquisitions; real estate finance; loan participation; specialty finance; government-guaranteed lending, workouts, restructurings and forbearance arrangements; secured party sales; and loan purchases and sales.

Originally from Burlington, NC, I attended Princeton University where I obtained an undergraduate degree in computer science. After college, I worked in Beijing, China for a small consulting company specializing in Chinese environmental and public policy. During my time in Beijing, I worked with the U.S. Trade and Development Authority to help U.S. businesses navigate the Chinese market. I later obtained a graduate degree from Georgia Institute of Technology and my law degree from Georgia State University in Atlanta.
