Our firm started with two attorney’s and a manual typewriter. Louis A. “Lou” Trosch, Sr., and Robert G. Williams opened for business as the Trosch & Williams Law Firm in Charlotte in 1970, concentrating on real estate, general corporate law, wills and estates, and management-labor arbitration. The firm used one small attorney’s office and a secretarial station with no reception area. When one partner had a client conference, the other went to a restaurant next door until the conference was completed. The partners’ spouses performed all the secretarial duties. Four years later, Lou Trosch’s father-in-law, Theodore Charles (T. C.) Conrad, sold his partnership interest in the accounting firm Conrad, Hoey, East & Co. and, at age 71, joined Trosch & Williams as a partner.
