Established in 2007, Frost Brown Todd’s Charleston office is led by Partner-in-Charge Carte Goodwin and located in the transportation, retail, cultural and telecommunications hub of the state. We have strong ties to every major industry in the region, from health care and manufacturing to energy, insurance, and industrial hemp production.

 

 

Strengths

Our Charleston team excels in the areas of commercial litigation, business and corporate law, real estate and project finance, health care and environmental law. We also work with state legislators and business leaders to develop new laws and initiatives to spur economic growth.

 

Community

Emphasizing a culture of collaboration and entrepreneurship, we strive to support the state we call home by providing legal counsel of the highest caliber. Our attorneys are not only skilled practitioners but influential leaders in the community. We actively and adamantly support a variety of regional organizations, including the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation, the West Virginia Bar Association, the Charleston Area Alliance, and the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce.
