The firm was previously selected for this honor in 2014. The award was announced January 29th at the Third Annual US Benchmark Litigation Awards in New York City.

“We are honored to be the first North Carolina firm to receive this award two years in a row. The award truly recognizes the exceptional work of our trial lawyers who achieve excellence in their legal work and client service on a daily basis,” said managing partner Leslie Packer. This was the third annual nationwide US Benchmark Annual Awards ceremony. In addition to “Firm of the Year,” other award categories included Case of the Year, Regional Practice Area Awards, and a Lifetime Achievement Award.
