Hart David Carson LLP in Charleston.

Corporate, private-capital, and private-wealth counsel for the Lowcountry's closely held companies, founders, funds, and family offices deploying capital along the Charleston coast.

Hart David Carson LLP's attorneys are admitted in Illinois. Matters governed by South Carolina law are handled with locally admitted counsel; the firm meets clients here by appointment.

From Charleston we serve the people who own and build companies, and the capital that backs them. The work is corporate, transactional, and private-wealth, and it turns on decisions that don't come twice.

Charleston has become a place where capital forms. Manufacturing and logistics are anchored by the port, the technology and life-sciences base is deepening, real-estate and hospitality ventures run up and down the coast, and a growing community of founders, funds, and family offices is choosing the Lowcountry. Our work there covers mergers and acquisitions, financings and recapitalizations, fund formation and direct investment, governance, and the structuring decisions that sit underneath them. Our private-client and asset-protection practice serves owners and families thinking past the next transaction to the generation after it.

Our Charleston work is for companies, capital, and the families behind them. We have represented clients in matters before the SEC, the CFTC, and the IRS, and we speak only for the companies in front of those agencies. Charleston is one room in a single firm. A Charleston engagement draws on the same bench as Chicago, with the firm's national reach and its London and Dubai offices behind it.

You move first and hold the line. We stand behind it.
