At Robinson Bradshaw, Sawchak focuses his practice on complex litigation, antitrust and appeals. He has argued at all levels of the federal and North Carolina court systems, including the U.S. Supreme Court. Sawchak previously served as solicitor general of North Carolina from 2017 to 2020, acting as lead counsel in the state’s highest-stakes civil appeals.

Sawchak received both a law degree and a master’s degree with honors from Duke University, and he earned his bachelor’s degree cum laude from Harvard University.
