Rudow practices commercial and residential real estate law, land
conservation, bankruptcy and creditors' rights, and estate planning.
Marc's clients range from large business

estate practice includes every detail of a real estate transaction from
the
initial contract through due diligence to closing. He is
responsive

smoothly
as possible. He also currently serves as a Chapter
7 Bankruptcy Trustee and is often involved in workouts and

allow him to deal with all aspects of real estate in a

improving economy.
Marc works with the land trust community in many capacities and is very familiar with all of the organizations that are dedicated to protect land in NC. Marc is professional, yet friendly, and has cultivated long term relationships in the Asheville area for over 35 years which help him better serve his clients.

He has been an active member of the community, chairing a number of non-profit boards both locally and statewide. Marc also works with many non-profit organizations as a volunteer, board member, and attorney, often providing legal services at a reduced rate. He is an avid conservationist, musician, biker, and hiker.
