Europe · Mayfair, London
London, UK. Hart David Carson LLP.
Our London presence, held through a partner firm in Mayfair. From there we advise companies, funds, and families on corporate transactions, private capital, and private wealth, bringing US-law counsel to the cross-border decisions that touch the United States and don't come twice.
London is where Hart David Carson LLP meets Europe. From this desk we advise on the US-law and cross-border dimensions of corporate, private-capital, and private-wealth matters across the market.
The clients we serve from London are companies and the people who own them. We act for UK and European founders, management teams, and operating businesses with US ambitions or US exposure. Private-equity sponsors, venture investors, and family offices deploying capital across the Atlantic come to us too, as do international principals who want their personal balance sheet structured with the same care as their enterprises. The work runs from mergers, acquisitions, and inbound and outbound investment through fund formation, securities and governance, tax structuring, and the estate and asset-protection planning that sits underneath a successful enterprise, all of it in the register of US law and the cross-border seams around it.
We go early, where capital is forming and the rules are still unwritten, and we stay through the moments that decide a company's path. Where a matter touches a US regulator, we have represented clients in matters before the SEC, the CFTC, and the IRS, in each case for the company or family appearing before the agency. London anchors a practice whose work routinely crosses borders. Chicago, London, and Dubai work to one standard, and a partner network of independent firms extends that reach.
