A peer review survey from Best Lawyers® has named two attorneys from Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson, one of the state’s leading corporate and commercial law firms, 2010 Lawyers of the Year in their respective practice areas. Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson was one of three Charlotte firms with multiple winners for 2010.

Peter C. Buck, who practices in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, corporate law, banking and finance and energy law, was named the Charlotte Best Lawyers Mergers & Acquisitions Lawyer of the Year for 2010.

Christy Eve Reid, who practices in the areas of estate planning, trust and estate administration and taxation, was named the Charlotte Best Lawyers Trusts and Estates Lawyer of the Year for 2010.

Buck and Christy Eve Reid on being selected as the ‘Charlotte Best Lawyers Mergers & Acquisitions and Trusts and Estates Lawyers of the Year,’ respectively, for 2010.”
