Ben Norman and Jennifer Van Zant Provide North Carolina Business Court Updates for 2017

Brooks Pierce partners Ben Norman and Jennifer Van Zant presented at the University of North Carolina’s (UNC) 2017 Festival of Legal Learning.

Their presentation, “North Carolina Business Court: Year in Review,” reviewed important decisions decided in 2016 by the North Carolina Business Court, insight on practice pointers, and an update on changes that have occurred

The Festival of Legal Learning included 120 sessions on a variety of legal topics. The annual event allows attorneys to earn 12 hours of continuing legal education credits while customizing their learning to meet their specific needs.

Norman is a litigator who represents clients in state and federal trial and appellate courts, including the North Carolina Business Court. While the parties and industries have varied, nearly all of his cases involve working to find the best resolution for the client when faced with a failed business relationship.

Van Zant focuses her practice on complex business litigation — the more complicated, the better. She represents businesses on a wide range of disputes before federal courts and the North Carolina Business Court, and works closely with clients to make paths toward resolution.
