New York, NY. Hart David Carson LLP.
For the New York market, corporate, private-capital, and private-wealth counsel to companies forming capital, to founders and operators at the point of decision, and to the families and offices behind them.
Hart David Carson LLP's attorneys are admitted in Illinois. Matters governed by New York law are handled with locally admitted counsel; the firm meets clients here by appointment.
New York is where the capital markets, the sponsors, and the counterparties on the other side of most transactions sit. We serve the city by appointment from Fifth Avenue, with the same bench that serves the rest of the firm.
Founders, operators, and management teams come to us for formation and structuring, mergers and acquisitions, financings, and the governance that has to hold once outside capital is in the room. Private equity, venture, and family offices come to us from the other side of the table, placing and protecting capital across technology, financial services, real assets, and the digital-asset economy, where the firm has been counsel since 2014.
For families and principals, including those holding interests across borders, we advise on private wealth and asset protection: estate and succession planning, entity structuring, and the long-horizon decisions you don't get to make twice. Where a matter touches a regulator, we have represented clients in matters before the SEC, the CFTC, and the IRS.
