Venn Law Group is pleased to announce that five attorneys received recognition as top lawyers in their respective practice areas in Business North Carolina’s 2023 Legal Elite.
Once a year, the magazine distributes ballots to active North Carolina Bar Association members who reside in the state. Attorneys are not allowed to vote for themselves and may only select members of their firms if they also select out-of-firm lawyers in the same categories, with the out-of-firm votes weighted more heavily. Business North Carolina magazine staff compiles these votes and recognizes the best of the best as their Legal Elite for the year.
