Charles J. Morrow

Charles Morrow is a business and real estate lawyer specializing in the negotiation and documentation of complex corporate transactions and strategies in an efficient, proactive, and organized manner. He regularly counsels entrepreneurs and business owners in all phases of the business life-cycle, from formation through the sale of the business, with a solutions-oriented approach.
Mr. Morrow was a business and real estate lawyer with the firm for ten years before joining a local business as its COO and General Counsel in 2018. In that role, he was responsible for the day-to-day operations, financial reporting and planning, and all legal matters for an internationally renowned brewpub with three locations, more than 150 employees, and $10MM in annual revenues. Additionally, he was intimately involved in all areas of running the business, including managing strategic organizational growth and expansion, creating and improving company processes, overseeing completion of a $3MM buildout of new location, designing the financial tracking and reporting system, structuring employee compensation models, maintaining relationships with and engaging new lending, accounting, and tax teams, designing a system to calculate profit margins of different products and sales channels, and high level strategic planning.
Mr. Morrow utilizes his focused business experience to serve as Fractional General Counsel to clients, in which he provides regular guidance for a fixed monthly fee. The understanding and awareness gained from hands on experience running a complex business creates enormous value by recognizing and addressing issues before they become expensive problems. Regular Fractional General Counsel meetings also provide business owners the opportunity to think strategically and plan regarding issues that frequently are pushed aside by hectic management schedules, such as profit maximization, risk mitigation, financial planning, and growth strategies.
