Additionally, he advises corporations on how to form entities that will be politically active, either directly or indirectly, and helps craft company policies on political activity and lobbying practices. He has represented clients before the board of elections in regulatory proceedings and confidential investigations and assists local and state governments in ensuring compliance with federal and state elections law, including the Voting Rights Act and other constitutional requirements.

He was selected by his peers for inclusion in Business North Carolina’s “Legal Elite” in the Young Guns category in 2019 and recognized by North Carolina Super Lawyers as a “Rising Star” in civil rights law in 2018 and business litigation in 2019.
