Thirty-Four Brooks Pierce Attorneys Recognized in Business North Carolina's 2024 "Legal Elite" and "Hall of Fame"

Thirty-four Brooks Pierce attorneys have been recognized by their peers for inclusion in the 2024 edition of Business North Carolina’s “Legal Elite” and “Hall of Fame,” a listing of the state’s top lawyers in business-related practice areas.

Each year, Business North Carolina sends ballots to members of the North Carolina Bar Association who are residents of the state, asking, “Of the Tar Heel lawyers whose work you have observed firsthand, whom would you rate among the current best in these categories?” Voters are not allowed to vote for themselves and may only select members of their own firms if they also select out-of-firm lawyers in the same categories, with the out-of-firm votes weighted more heavily. Attorneys who receive the most votes in their respective categories become permanent members of the “Legal Elite Hall of Fame.”
