Business North Carolina magazine has named 15 Womble Carlyle attorneys to the 2013 North Carolina Legal Elite—the magazine’s annual listing of the state's top lawyers. They are:
Charlotte
Jeff Hay, Business
Cy Johnson, Business
Kurt Lindquist, Litigation

In addition, the following Womble Carlyle attorneys are members of the North Carolina Legal Elite Hall of Fame, meaning they received the most votes in the state in their particular practice area. Hall of Fame members are no longer eligible for the annual rankings. They are:
Alfred Adams, Real Estate (Winston-Salem)
Jim Cooney, Criminal Law (Charlotte)
Mark Horoschak, Antitrust (Charlotte)
Betty Quick, Tax/Trusts & Estates (Winston-Salem)
Statewide, 735 lawyers — about 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.
