Hart David Carson LLP in Austin
Corporate, private-capital, and private-wealth counsel for the companies, sponsors, and families building in Central Texas, drafted to one standard across three time zones and read the way the other side will read it.
Hart David Carson LLP's attorneys are admitted in Illinois. Matters governed by Texas law are handled with locally admitted counsel; the firm meets clients here by appointment.
In Austin, capital, talent, and ambition arrive faster than the rules that govern them, and the decisions a founder or sponsor makes early tend to define what is possible later.
We work with the operating companies, venture and private-equity sponsors, family offices, and private clients moving through that market. The matters run from mergers and acquisitions, securities and capital raises, and fund formation and direct deals to digital-asset and emerging-technology questions and the tax and asset-protection structures that hold once the deal closes.
Austin works with Chicago, London, and Dubai to one standard. Where a matter touches a regulator, we have represented clients in matters before the SEC, the CFTC, and the IRS. We speak for the companies in front of those agencies, never for the agencies themselves.

The practices operators, sponsors, and private clients in Central Texas reach for most, from the same bench wherever your matter sits.

Explore asset protection →05
Estate Planning & Private Client
Wealth, succession, and the structures that outlast a single deal, for the companies and the families behind them who are building for the next generation.
Explore estate planning →06
Tax & Structuring
Domestic and international tax, M&A tax, and the structures that make a transaction efficient, built into the deal from the first draft rather than bolted on at the close.
