11 Womble Carlyle Attorneys Named to N.C. Legal Elite
January 19, 2011
Eleven Womble Carlyle attorneys have been named by Business North Carolina Magazine to the 2011 North Carolina Legal Elite—the annual listing of the state's top lawyers.
Statewide, 598 lawyers — fewer than 3% of the total — were picked by their peers in 14 mostly business-related categories. Notices were sent to more than 20,000 active members of the North Carolina State Bar. Voters could not pick themselves, and they could select partners and associates only if they also selected lawyers outside the firm in the same categories.
The Womble Carlyle lawyers named to the list, the practice area for which each was nominated and a link to each lawyer's bio are below:
Charlotte
Cy Johnson, Business
Rob Wilder, Litigation
Raleigh
Gene Jones, Business and Young Guns
Press Millen, Antitrust
Liz Riley, Construction
Todd Sullivan, Employment
Winston-Salem
Jean Adams, Tax/Estate Planning
Lori Hinnant, Environmental
John Morrow, Intellectual Property
George Ragland, Tax/Estate Planning
Kim Stogner, Tax/Estate Planning
In addition, four other Womble Carlyle attorneys—Alfred Adams, Jim Cooney, Mark Horoschak and Betty Quick—are members of the North Carolina Legal Elite Hall of Fame, meaning they are no longer eligible for the year-to-year rankings.
