Oakbrook Terrace. Hart David Carson LLP.

Our Oakbrook Terrace office serves the businesses, founders, and families of DuPage County and the western Chicago corridor, the suburban engine of one of the country's deepest middle-market economies.

This is a corporate, private-capital, and private-wealth practice. From Oakbrook Terrace we advise on mergers and acquisitions, growth and recapitalization financings, fund formation and direct investing for family offices and sponsors, and the securities and governance questions that come with raising capital. We work with closely held and family-owned companies through the moments that define them: a sale, a generational transition, or a new institutional partner at the table.

Around that work sits the firm's wider platform of tax and structuring, asset protection, and estate planning for the principals behind those businesses, so a company decision and a family decision are read together rather than apart. Where a matter touches a regulator, we have represented clients in matters before the SEC, the CFTC, and the IRS, and in each case our client was the company or family appearing before the agency. The address is in Oakbrook Terrace, but the bench is the whole firm: the Chicago office, the offices in London and Dubai, and a partner network of independent firms across five continents.
