What We Do: Fiduciary Litigation and Complex Commercial Disputes
Lord & Lindley is a Charlotte litigation boutique focused on fiduciary disputes: cases involving trustees, executors, business partners, and others who hold legal authority over someone else's money or interests.
We focus on this work because it's what we do well. Harrison Lord and Trey Lindley each contributed chapters to the North Carolina Fiduciary Litigation Manual (2d Ed. 2026), and the firm's attorneys have handled these cases across the state.
Our clients are usually individuals and families dealing with contested estates, business owners in shareholder or partnership disputes, beneficiaries questioning a trustee's conduct, or corporate fiduciaries defending their administration of a trust. We also handle complex commercial disputes, non-compete and trade secrets cases, guardianships, and partition actions, which often overlap with the fiduciary side of the practice.
If you're facing one of these disputes, we've probably seen it before.
