Fred D. Hutchison
Fred Hutchison’s outstanding leadership and unstinting support of clients is the key to Hutchison Law Group’s bedrock philosophy. He has believed from his career’s beginning that attorneys owe more to clients than conventional legal counsel. Fred has helped make Hutchison Law Group synonymous with innovation and growth among hundreds of business clients around the Southeast.
His practice is focused on venture capital, securities and mergers and acquisitions. He enjoys counseling clients, both from the legal aspects, but also on business issues involved in starting and growing companies.
Prior to founding Hutchison Law Group in 1996, Fred was a partner at Petree Stockton & Robinson (now Kilpatrick Stockton) and Moore & Van Allen. Fred spent five years practicing in the municipal finance, securities and bank regulatory areas with Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C.
Fred has served as a general partner in Research Triangle Ventures, a $10.3 million early stage venture capital fund focused on companies in the Research Triangle Park region of North Carolina. These investment activities, along with many years as a private angel investor, better equip Fred to advise clients on raising capital.
Fred earned a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1971 and his law degree from the University of Virginia in 1975.
