WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The accolades and honors for Womble Carlyle Managing Partner Keith Vaughan continue to grow as 2012 draws to a close. The Triad Business Journal named Vaughan to its list of this year’s Most Influential People. The list is included in the Nov. 16 edition of the Business Journal.
 

The Triad Business Journal cites Vaughan’s charitable work, his work with Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem State University, as well as his firm leadership for his inclusion on the list.
 

Vaughan was one of six Southeastern executives named a Business Leader Legend earlier this year by Business Leader magazine and in May he was named to the Executive Committee of the Lex Mundi Board of Directors.

Keith Vaughan has served as Womble Carlyle’s Managing Partner since 2002. Under his leadership, Womble Carlyle has expanded its footprint into Baltimore, Delaware, Columbia and Charleston, S.C. and Silicon Valley.

 

He advocated the firm’s involvement in the Association of Corporate Counsel’s Value Challenge, which seeks to better align outside legal services with the needs of corporate clients. Vaughan has led and encouraged the development of value-oriented ancillary services at Womble Carlyle such as the Case Management Facility (CMF), FirmLogic (medical litigation support), Document Review Team, and Womble Carlyle Ecology Innovations LLC (WCEI). These services benefit clients by delivering cost effective solutions to traditionally expensive legal challenges.
