Hull & Chandler

What Hull & Chandler does

Hull & Chandler, P.A. is a privately held, full-service law firm headquartered at 1009 East Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina, founded in 2003 and led by name partners Nathan M. Hull and R. Michael Chandler. The firm serves individuals and businesses across North Carolina through six core practice areas: Business Law (including mergers and acquisitions, contracts, non-competes, and intellectual property), Business Litigation, Personal Injury (car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, premises liability, and wrongful death), Estate Planning and Probate, Commercial Real Estate, and Nonprofit/Head Start/Community Action Law. An add-on Fractional General Counsel offering provides part-time licensed attorney support to nonprofit organizations on a flat-rate or fixed-price basis, distinguishing the firm from purely transactional practices in its market.

The firm's revenue model relies on traditional legal billing structures: contingency fees with free initial consultations for personal injury matters, and hourly or fixed fees for transactional, litigation, and estate planning work, with the fractional GC service introducing a recurring flat-rate overlay. Go-to-market is direct, driven by inbound phone calls (704-375-8488), website contact form submissions, office visits, and a content marketing program that includes attorney-authored blog posts on regulatory developments such as the FTC non-compete ban and periodic Legal Elite and Super Lawyers announcement posts.

The firm operates with a roster of approximately ten attorneys, each specializing in distinct practice areas, supported by standard legal practice management and case management software. There is no proprietary technology stack, no disclosed AI/ML capability, no outside investors, no parent company, and no institutional capital structure. The firm has no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, no mergers or acquisitions, and no publicly disclosed revenue figures.
