We want to hear from you, but before you click the “ACCEPT” button below, please be aware of the following:

Sending an email to Adams and Reese LLP does not create an attorney-client relationship.  We do not accept client representations by email.  We do not treat unsolicited information received by email from our website as confidential.

If you are contacting us about a possible representation, we cannot represent you until we know that we would not have a conflict of interest.  Please do not send us any information about a potential representation until you communicate with one of our lawyers by telephone or in person about representation. 

By clicking “ACCEPT” you agree that we may review any information you send us, and that we do not need to consider it confidential.  You also agree that our review of your email or any information in it, even if you submitted it in a good faith effort to retain us, and even if you consider it confidential, will not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even in a matter where that information could and will be used against you.

Please click “ACCEPT” if you understand and accept the foregoing statement and wish to proceed.

In negotiation, I identify the needs of each player clearly and quickly, conceive a proposal that optimally meets all their key requirements and then use my persuasive skills to “sell” it. This tactic also comes in handy for running a large organization — like a law firm.

Primary Practice:

For more than three decades, Chuck Adams represented clients in business and corporate law matters and commercial transactions. He guided creditors, those buying assets from entities, individuals in bankruptcy and businesses that were acquiring and operating substantial company assets.

A former managing partner, Chuck was instrumental in the regional growth of the firm. He was directly involved in every phase of development, including identifying, approaching, recruiting, negotiating, closing and integrating offices. Chuck helped the firm expand into Birmingham in 2002, Nashville in 2005, Memphis in 2006, Florida in 2009 and South Carolina in 2013.

In his firm leader role, Chuck was responsible for the day-to-day management of firm operations. He had a talent for recognizing clients’ burgeoning needs and then helping Adams and Reese attorneys meet them.

Chuck is a long-time member of the Commercial Disputes Panel of the American Arbitration Association and frequently serves on commercial arbitration engagements.

“ My highest professional achievement was being entrusted by my partners with the responsibility for their business as managing partner of our firm. ”
