Corporate Relocation & Incentives

Our firm is highly competent in this field, with long experience working with the governor’s office, state legislators, and state and local economic-development officials to deploy such business investment tools as the North Carolina Job Development Investment Grant program and the One North Carolina Fund. We enjoy close ties with North Carolina’s policymakers, and we work well with outside relocation consultants. We also maintain a regular presence in the state legislative and regulatory arenas, where we regularly advocate for our clients.

Our work ranges from helping clients secure the full benefit of state and local financial incentives to navigating the vagaries of regulatory, zoning, tax and land-use requirements. We have the knowledge, experience and credibility with state and local officials to negotiate economic development incentives, tax impacts and regulatory interpretations. Because we’re a full-service corporate law firm, we also offer expertise in related areas, including Commercial Real Estate, Mergers and Acquisitions, Tax, Real Estate Development, International Law, Environmental and OSHA, Construction, and Employment, Labor and Human Resources. This full menu of legal and advocacy services allows us to assist in thoroughly analyzing all aspects of your business. With a broader perspective on our clients’ businesses, we can more effectively advocate for financial incentives and seek to promote a state regulatory and business climate designed to minimize the burdens imposed on our clients.
