Our firm was founded a decade ago by a collection of highly respected North Carolina attorneys who weren’t happy at large, well-established law firms. We wanted a firm with a different approach — lean and efficient, governed by consensus, with a flexible and collegial environment that allows attorneys to work with clients in the manner that is most productive and beneficial for them.
