Overview

Our law firm represents select businesses, business owners, and real estate professionals throughout the Carolinas. We strive to be the destination for clients who seek a sounding board and guide in commercial real estate transactions; mergers and acquisitions; commercial litigation, mediation, and arbitration; growth and exit planning; business transactions; employment law; tax law; and real estate licensing.

We believe that the best advice comes from strong relationships. A trusted advisor who knows you well will work harder to help you. Our mission is to be that kind of advisor. We invest the time and energy in knowing our clients and our community so that we represent our clients well.

We connect our clients with people and services they need. We offer practical guidance and the information they should know. We think about risks and opportunities for our clients that go beyond the legal issues. We aren’t attorneys who just answer the phone and take orders. We’re attorneys who listen to, talk with, and empower our clients.

At Venn Law Group, we are dedicated to helping you make the best decisions in your business and real estate pursuits. Contact us to see if we can help you.
