Partner Michael Kozlarek manages the new office. This marks the firm’s fourth location in South Carolina and its second office in the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson metro area.

The new office will serve the area’s business needs, including those in public finance, tax, economic development, business law and commercial litigation.

Kozlarek focuses his practice on the areas of public finance, economic development, tax disputes, and general municipal law for state and local governments and businesses. In his 15 years of experience, he has consulted with private industry concerning South Carolina property tax law, and represented both foreign and domestic companies in the negotiation of economic development incentives focusing in the Southeast. In addition to his practice, Kozlarek taught at the University of South Carolina School of Law and is a former member of the South Carolina Army National Guard. Kozlarek received his JD and MIBS degrees from the University of South Carolina and is a graduate of Princeton University.

Joining Kozlarek is Madison Felder, an associate transferring from Parker Poe Columbia. Felder focuses on the local, state and federal tax issues related to public finance transactions and economic development.
