Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Megan’s practice is primarily focused on commercial real estate and corporate law. She represents buyers and sellers in commercial matters, including drafting contracts, handling negotiations, reviewing title and due diligence, and preparing leases. On the corporate side, she handles matters such as entity formation, structuring, and creation of corporate governance documents.
Mergers and Acquisitions
He has worked across all asset classes, but has particular experience in the hotel, resort and hospitality industry. Dave’s corporate experience includes private company mergers and acquisitions, joint venture agreements, negotiation of commercial contracts, hotel management and franchise agreements, and general corporate counseling.
Business Formation
Are Buist Byars & Taylor’s primary areas of focus, our attorneys also handle business-related matters, such as business formation, company mergers, business dissolution and review of leases, bylaws, guidelines and contracts. In addition, we offer estate planning services, preparation of wills and other important legal document prep.
Business Disputes
As we work with clients and build relationships in residential and commercial real estate and property litigation matters, many look to us for support with other legal needs, including those in business law.
Business Transactions
Furthermore, he has extensive experience working with clients on general commercial and business transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions, shareholder buy-out, and other business succession issues. Over the years, Abe has advised and represented numerous clients on alcohol beverage licensing matters.
Limited Liability Companies
Our Charleston real estate lawyers also represent homeowners’ associations and provide counsel on the formation of corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies, and handle litigation related to property matters.

Real Estate Litigation
In 1998, Mr. Buist expanded the practice by forming a partnership with his son-in-law, Custis Byars. The firm opened an office in Freshfields Village between Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island to more conveniently serve the growing number of residential real estate clients in the area. The Kiawah-Seabrook office team, now supervised by partner Joseph Garcia is now entrusted with the vast majority of real estate matters on the islands.
Construction Litigation
We assist clients in all aspects of residential and commercial construction law, from preparing and negotiating construction documents to construction litigation at trial in state and federal courts. Furthermore, we stay informed on all of the latest changes in South Carolina and federal law, statutes and regulations.
Real Estate Transactions
The foundation for the firm now known as Buist Byars Taylor LLC was established in 1958 when founding attorney Thomas G. Buist joined his family’s long-standing Charleston law firm, Buist and Buist. In his 45 years of practice, Mr. Buist handled some of the largest real estate transactions in the state of South Carolina, including the sale of Kiawah Island in 1974 and the certification of the title for its re-sale in 1993.
Eminent Domain
Easement
Land Use and Zoning
Counseling developers, builders, owners, prospective buyers, lenders, and land use organizations, our commercial real estate team works through the entire spectrum of land use issues.
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Another partner, Hamlin O’Kelley, is responsible for the firm’s property litigation practice. He represents homeowners and property owners associations, and handles landlord tenant disputes, foreclosures, quiet title actions, construction litigation, title insurance defense as well as general litigation matters, across South Carolina and beyond.
Property Damage
While we hope that homes built or purchased by our clients will all be well-constructed, unforeseen problems sometimes arise. Issues with poor workmanship, defective products or design defects can be daunting for a homeowner, as the rules and laws that pertain to insurance coverage and workmanship/product claims are complicated, and in many cases, time-sensitive.

Personal Injury
We are pleased to offer recommendations for professional services and for legal representation in areas of practice on which our firm does not focus, such as personal injury, family law, more extensive estate planning, and criminal defense.
