Carter advises clients on commercial and transactional matters, with a practice grounded in contract drafting, negotiation, risk assessment, and deal structuring. What sets Carter apart is his complementary experience in construction law and commercial litigation, which gives him a practical, dispute-informed perspective on structuring deals.
On the transactional front, Carter drafts, reviews, and negotiates multi-million-dollar commercial agreements of all varieties, including service agreements, vendor contracts, loan transactions, real estate acquisitions, M&A transactions, leases, and corporate formations. He structures deal terms and conducts due diligence across complex multi-party transactions, working collaboratively with cross-functional teams across the firm's offices to deliver business-oriented legal solutions on compressed timelines.

Before joining Adams & Reese as an associate, Carter served as a judicial intern within the Alapaha Judicial Circuit, where he researched case law, drafted legal memoranda, and assisted with hearing and motion preparations for civil and criminal cases. Prior to law school, Carter worked in management for a large corporate business in the implementation and design of a new hospitality venture, experience he leverages to better serve business clients.
