Four Nexsen Pruet attorneys have been selected by their peers to this year's list of "Legal Elite" in North Carolina. The 2016 list is featured in the January issue of Business North Carolina magazine.

The Nexsen Pruet attorneys chosen reside in two of the firm’s three NC offices. In Raleigh, they are Charlie Carter (Environmental) and John Mabe (Construction). In Greensboro, they are Eric Biesecker and Harper Heckman (both Construction).

Out of all of the construction lawyers nominated in the Tar Heel state, Harper Heckman has been honored as the category winner for Construction Law.

The top vote-getter in each category then becomes a life-long member of Business North Carolina's “Legal Elite” Hall of Fame. Other Nexsen Pruet Hall-of-Famers include: Christy Myatt (Greensboro) for Bankruptcy in 2010, Dave Krasnow (Raleigh) for Intellectual Property in 2010, and Eric Mills (Raleigh) for Intellectual Property in 2012.

Legal Elite Methodology

Each year, BNC sends ballot notices to every member of the N.C. State Bar living in North Carolina — asking each a simple question: Of the Tar Heel lawyers whose work you have observed firsthand, whom would you rate among the current best in these categories? Voters are not allowed to vote for themselves. They may select members of their firms only if they pick out-of-firm lawyers in the same categories, with the latter votes weighted more heavily.

Nexsen Pruet, LLC is one of the largest law firms in the Carolinas, with more than 200 attorneys and offices in Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, Hilton Head, and Myrtle Beach, S.C. as well as Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh, N.C. Founded in 1945, Nexsen Pruet provides a broad range of legal services to the business community and represents companies and other entities in local, state, national, and international venues.
