Lockhart, pllc is an innovative
professional practice, a Charlotte business law firm that works with innovative business
people. As the owner of my law practice, I have a keen
appreciation for the stresses that accompany operating a business.
It’s not for the faint of heart. But I also understand the
unique excitement and opportunity of business ownership. Because
I live as an entrepreneur myself, and because of my experience in
business, banking and the military, I have an
unusual combination of legal training and relevant real-life experience.
Lockhart, pllc works with privately held companies from startups to
middle-market companies, often in emerging growth and technology
sectors as well as more traditional companies in well
established industries. Some clients would describe
themselves as high-growth businesses and endeavor to raise
capital through private investments from "friends & family,"
angel investors and venture capital funds.
High-growth and investor-backed companies often enter into
business, corporate and financing transactions that are typical
of larger companies, and the legal services enabling these
transactions are frequently more sophisticated than the basic
work that goes into helping any business
client. I am prepared to work with companies and business
people at either end of the spectrum.
 Lockhart, pllc was
originally organized in 2002 and was known as The Business Law
Advisors. The firm's founders had been in-house legal counsel of a
Charlotte company and had often used the services of
outside law firms. After their company was acquired, they
started The Business Law Advisors to provide the high-value,
high-quality legal services they did not believe were readily
available to smaller companies at a reasonable price point. The
firm was organized to operate under a streamlined overhead
structure and without internal billing quotas, which is a
departure from the traditional law firm model. The objective was
to provide useful, practical legal services and to serve only
one master: the client. Now known as Lockhart, pllc,
the firm
continues the traditions of innovation, focus, service and
value. |
