The heart of my practice—my unique value proposition—is my ability to identify, pursue, and promote positive outcomes for clients by combining advanced tax law training with a wealth of public affairs experience and contacts. I counsel corporate clients on navigating quirky and obscure rules in the tax code, closing complex transactions, and completing economic development projects, often advising national and multinational companies as they relocate, expand, and seek incentives.

Anthony M. Quattrone’s particular strength is providing counsel at the intersection where business, politics, and the law converge. He advises clients throughout the Southeast in the areas of economic development, tax incentives, and tax planning, and he serves as general corporate counsel. He guides clients through mergers, acquisitions, establishing corporate governance, restructuring, achieving tax deferral, and resolving public affairs issues. He brings a diverse mix of professional experience in the legal, political, and financial services fields when advising his clients. Whether in the boardroom or the lobby of the General Assembly, Anthony develops innovative solutions to complex legal, business, and regulatory problems as he works to create financial opportunities for his clients.

With advanced training in tax law, Anthony counsels economic development and corporate clients on the tax implications of a wide range of business opportunities and conditions and helps them navigate obscure legal and regulatory requirements. In addition, Anthony’s public affairs experience, and political contacts enable him to bring a valuable and unique perspective to the counsel he provides his economic development clients.

Anthony began his career as a top-ranked new financial advisor at a national firm where his practice focused on building laddered municipal bond portfolios for high-net-worth and corporate clients seeking tax deferral. Prior to attending law school, Anthony spent several years working in the political and public affairs arena. He served as Political Director to a South Carolina gubernatorial campaign, worked as Director of Public Affairs in a leading multinational communications firm, and represented corporations before the United States Congress and the South Carolina General Assembly.

Anthony served as Articles Editor for the American Bar Association’s Real Property, Trust and Estate Law Journal.

I started in finance and then worked in politics and public affairs before going to law school. Once I began studying the law, I developed a knack for navigating the complexities of the tax code. I find immeasurable, professional satisfaction when I bring all of that experience to bear in helping my clients.
