Business North Carolina Magazine Recognizes 18 Robinson Bradshaw Lawyers as Legal Elite

Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson, P.A. is pleased to announce that Business North Carolina magazine has named 18 Robinson Bradshaw lawyers to their annual “Legal Elite” list. Peter C. Buck and Mark W. Merritt were named as category winners in the areas of business law/corporate and antitrust litigation, respectively. Both join Russell M. Robinson, Brent A. Torstrick, Everett J. Bowman and Robin L. Hinson as Hall of Fame members.

The Process

The attorneys were selected as the best practitioners in their field through a mailed survey that was sent to more than 16,500 lawyers licensed by the North Carolina State Bar representing 12 business-related specialties, asking each to vote for the person thought to be the best practitioner in each field. Participants were not allowed to vote for themselves, but could vote for members of their firm—but only if they also voted for someone outside of their firm. Other winners include:
