Why Choose Alston & Bird?
Alston & Bird is a serious BigLaw choice when the matter involves a regulator, a federal court, or a billion-dollar transaction. The Charlotte office punches well above its size for banking and financial services work — its partners regularly appear before the Federal Reserve, CFPB, and OCC, and its commercial litigation team handles high-stakes disputes for some of the largest financial institutions in the country. This is not the right firm for a divorce, a fender-bender, or a small-business contract dispute. It is the right firm if your business is being sued for a meaningful amount, if a regulator just sent a demand letter, or if you are closing a transaction that needs sophisticated tax structuring.
Situations They Handle
What You'll Pay
BigLaw rate card. Partners typically bill in the $900–$1,800+ per hour range, with associates and counsel at lower but still sophisticated rates. Alternative fee arrangements (capped fees, success fees, fixed-scope work) are available for repeat institutional clients. Engagement letters and conflict checks are completed before any work begins.
