Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite remains unique as the only award that gives every active lawyer in the state the opportunity to participate.

State Bar living in North Carolina — asking each a simple question: Of the Tar Heel lawyers whose work you have observed firsthand, whom would you rate among the current best in these categories?
