About Us

Parker Poe is a business law firm that advises clients on the decisions that define them and the moments in between. Companies and local institutions turn to the firm for its collaborative, client-centered approach to structuring transactions, navigating regulations, and resolving disputes.
Rooted in the Southeast since 1884, the firm today has over 300 attorneys across offices in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg, South Carolina; Atlanta, Georgia; and Washington, DC. We bring deep insight into the industries, institutions, and relationships that shape business in the region, and we have the national and international reach to serve clients wherever their business takes them. Our focus is to be the first choice among business law firms for the clients we serve and the talent we attract.
Moments That Matter™
While many firms describe client service as a value, Parker Poe treats client experience as a system. Our trademarked Moments That Matter program focuses on the interactions that most strongly shape trust, confidence, and long-term client relationships, and it helps create a more consistent and intentional client experience.
Through Moments That Matter, we are intentional in delivering clarity when issues are complex, responsiveness when timing matters, thoughtful guidance when stakes are high, and human connection when clients need reassurance. The program is designed to ensure clients feel understood, supported, and confident throughout their engagement with our firm.
Client value and innovation
Our client-centric approach emphasizes outcomes and value as defined by our clients. Independent surveys by financial, accounting, and research organizations rate Parker Poe among the top law firms for high-value, quality service.
We also partner with clients on innovation, including working together to build and test artificial intelligence (AI) apps addressing challenges that company leaders and attorneys face together every day. From AI to other technologies, our priority is deploying the best available tools to advance clients' legal and business objectives.
Community investment
We help clients and community partners drive impact, including through pro bono initiatives, community service collaborations, and leadership roles. Our lawyers' roles have included serving as mayors, city attorneys, state legislators, and state Supreme Court justices; presidents of state and local bar associations; and board members for universities, schools, and nonprofits.
Our diverse and inclusive community
A diverse and inclusive community is essential to the success of our lawyers, business professionals, and clients. We believe that an environment where people from various backgrounds feel welcome and respected leads to creative ideas and new perspectives, enriching the practice of law. To that end, Parker Poe intentionally cultivates an inclusive workplace of talented lawyers and business professionals with diverse experiences and perspectives.
International scope
As an outgrowth of our service to German clients, we became the first Carolinas-based law firm with a dedicated International Practice Group in 1984. Today, our international practice represents clients based across the globe, with a particular emphasis on Europe, Asia, and Latin America. We are also a member of two international legal networks: TerraLex and the Employment Law Alliance. TerraLex and the ELA have chosen Parker Poe to help guide clients through the challenges of global business.
