Class of 2023 Leaders in the Law announced

North Carolina Lawyers Weekly is pleased to announce the Leaders in the Law Class of 2023.

“Leaders in the Law” is an annual award that celebrates those lawyers who are setting the standard for other lawyers.

Leaders’ accomplishments include outstanding contributions to the practice of law in North Carolina, significant achievements through the practice of law, leadership in improving the justice system, acting as role models and mentors, and making essential contributions to North Carolina’s legal community and/or the community at large.

We look forward to honoring these stellar practitioners on April 20 at the Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley in Raleigh.
