“A lot of the owners I talk to here have spent twenty or thirty years building something, and they’re starting to think about what happens to it next. Mostly they want somebody close by who knows the area and will pick up the phone. It’s good to be able to do that from here now.”
—Trey Blalock, Wilmington

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Our attorneys are licensed across North Carolina and multiple states. The Wilmington office exists so that owners in the Cape Fear region can meet in person without driving to Raleigh.
-
It depends on the work. We use flat fees for defined projects like entity formation, trademark filings, and estate plans, so you know the number before we start.
-
Earlier than most people do. The items that reduce a sale price are usually fixable with two years of lead time and expensive to fix with two months. An early conversation costs you a meeting.
-
Both. We handle formation and venture financing for early companies and ongoing counsel for established ones. Our Raleigh office does a high volume of venture work, and Wilmington clients have access to the same attorneys.
-
Yes, and that’s the point of having both practices in one firm. Oftentime estate plans are written without any knowledge of how the client’s company is owned or governed, which is how buy-sell terms and beneficiary designations end up contradicting each other.
