About Andrei D.
Andrei D. Tsygankov combined study in business and law before settling into a practice that mixes both worlds. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Management and Accounting from the Georgia Institute of Technology, then completed a Juris Doctor at Georgia State University College of Law. Those two credentials set the tone for a career that moves between corporate operations and legal counsel.
He entered the professional world in leadership roles outside traditional law firms. In 2007 he served as Managing Director at America-Europe International, a role that placed him in a cross-border business environment. He later became Chief Operating Officer at SmartUp in 2013, overseeing operational matters during a period of organizational growth. In 2014 he joined Founders Legal as a partner, shifting his day-to-day responsibilities into a firm setting while retaining a business-oriented perspective.
Tsygankov’s background in management and accounting informs how he approaches legal problems. He applies practical business judgment to legal analysis. That combination helps when issues involve corporate structure, financial considerations or governance. Clients encounter an attorney who understands both the law and the underlying business drivers that matter to executives and owners.
He is admitted to practice in Georgia and maintains current professional memberships. His career path reflects alternating stretches in corporate leadership and law practice rather than a single, linear track. That background allows him to speak the language of founders, managers and boards. It also gives him experience in translating business goals into legal strategies, and in explaining legal risk in straightforward terms.
At Founders Legal Tsygankov works from an office that supports entrepreneurs and business clients. He balances firm responsibilities with hands-on client work and practice management. He continues to handle matters that require both legal training and practical business experience. He currently focuses his practice on corporate and business matters.
