Washington, DC. Hart David Carson LLP
Corporate, private-capital, and private-wealth counsel in the capital, for companies, funds, and families whose work sits where capital, regulation, and policy meet. One partner is your point of contact, and the full bench sits behind that partner.
Hart David Carson LLP's attorneys are admitted in Illinois. Matters governed by District of Columbia law are handled with locally admitted counsel; the firm meets clients here by appointment.
Washington is where the rules that shape a deal are written, and many of the companies, funds, and family offices that live closest to those rules choose to base their work here. Our practice in the city serves them.
From Washington, DC we act for founders, operating companies, private-capital sponsors, and private-wealth clients on mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt financings, fund formation and direct investment, securities and governance, digital-asset structuring, tax planning, and asset protection. All of it is transactional and advisory work, covering the matters that move a company from one stage to the next and the structures that protect what a family has built.
The capital markets, the federal regulators, and the policy questions that move our clients' industries all converge in this market, which is why proximity is worth something. Where a matter touches a regulator, we have represented clients in matters before the SEC, the CFTC, and the IRS, always on behalf of the company or family appearing before the agency. Because the firm works to one standard across Chicago, London, and Dubai, a Washington matter draws on the same bench wherever the next part of the deal happens to sit.
