Carruthers & Roth, P.A.

What Carruthers & Roth, P.A. does

Carruthers & Roth, P.A. is a private, full-service law firm headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, founded in 1937 (firmographics) or 1939 (company history) and operating continuously for over 85 years. The firm operates as a Professional Association (P.A.) under North Carolina law and maintains a single office at 235 North Edgeworth Street in Greensboro. Its practice is organized around eight primary areas — Business, Commercial Real Estate, Litigation, Banking & Finance, Wills/Trusts/Estate Planning, Estate Administration, Tax, and Construction — supported by more than 25 specialized services spanning cybersecurity and data privacy, healthcare, intellectual property, employment law, environmental issues, real estate development and finance, medical malpractice defense, insurance defense, and startups and entrepreneurs.

The firm serves clients across a horizontal segmentation ranging from local entrepreneurs and closely held businesses to national companies and corporations, with no single industry vertical dominating. Its client base is concentrated in the Southeast United States, particularly the Greensboro/Triad market, and it operates as a member of the Legal Netlink Alliance, an international network of independent law firms that supports cross-jurisdictional referrals. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm uses standard professional services infrastructure including LawPay for online bill payment, and operates through direct attorney-client engagement rather than digital product distribution.

Carruthers & Roth generates revenue exclusively through traditional hourly billing for legal services, billed monthly, with no alternative fee arrangements, subscription products, or technology licensing disclosed. The firm has no external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and is independently operated by its directors and shareholders. Its go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, relying on peer-reviewed legal directory recognition (Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, Chambers USA, Business North Carolina Legal Elite, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent), educational content marketing, an annual CPE-eligible Business & Tax Seminar for accounting professionals, community involvement including pro bono work, and active social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
