11 Womble Carlyle Attorneys Named to North Carolina Legal Elite Rankings
January 8, 2010
Eleven Womble Carlyle attorneys have been named by Business North Carolina Magazine to the 2010 North Carolina Legal Elite—the annual listing of the state's top lawyers.
Statewide, 603 lawyers — about 3% of the total — were picked by their peers in 14 mostly business-related categories. Notices were sent to more than 19,000 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
Press Millen, Antitrust
Liz Riley, Construction
Research Triangle Park
Christopher Bolen, Intellectual Property
Ken Carroll, Business
Winston-Salem
Jean Adams, Tax/Estate Planning
Ryan Opel, Young Guns
George Ragland, Tax/Estate Planning
Bill Sullivan, Bankruptcy
Mark Wiley, 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.
