Business Lawin Charleston, SC
Expert business law in Charleston. Licensed, insured, upfront pricing.
Most business legal problems are cheapest to solve before they exist. We help local owners choose the right entity, paper the relationships that matter — operating agreements, buy-sells, key contracts — and stay reachable for the day-to-day questions that keep small problems small. When a dispute does arrive, the same partner who knows your company handles it, without an expensive re-education on your dime.

- Entity formation and operating / shareholder agreements
- Commercial contracts, leases, and vendor terms
- Partner buy-ins, buy-outs, and ownership disputes
- Employment agreements and restrictive covenants
- Business purchases and sales
- Outside general-counsel support on a predictable fee
From first meeting to signed, settled, and kept.
Discovery call
We learn how the business actually runs and where the exposure sits — often not where owners expect.
Structure & documents
We form or clean up the entity and draft the agreements that protect owners from each other and from the outside world.
Ongoing counsel
You get a partner on call for contracts, hires, and judgment calls — priced so you’ll actually pick up the phone.
Dispute-ready
If a deal or partner goes sideways, we already know your company, and we move straight to protecting it.
Every matter begins the same way: an hour, a partner, and a plan.
No obligation, held in confidence. You leave knowing what you need, what it costs, and what happens next.
Questions on business law
How much will my case cost?
It depends on the matter, but you will always know before we begin. Injury cases are handled on contingency — no fee unless we recover. Estate plans and closings are flat-fee. Litigation and family matters are hourly with rates disclosed up front and monthly caps agreed in writing.
Will a partner actually handle my case?
Yes. The partner you meet at your consultation leads your case personally — signs the pleadings, appears at hearings, and returns your calls. Associates and paralegals support the work; they never replace the partner on it.
Is the consultation really free — and confidential?
Yes on both counts. Your first meeting with a partner costs nothing and is protected by attorney–client privilege whether or not you retain the firm. You leave with an honest assessment of your case, not a sales pitch.
