Legal Elite Methodology:

Since 2002, Business North Carolina magazine has honored North Carolina Lawyers by publishing Business North Carolina's Legal Elite, a listing of the state's top lawyers in business-related categories. Each year, BNC sends ballot notices to every member of the NC State Bar living in North Carolina for a peer review. BNC's Legal Elite has become the model for other awards and lists, but it remains unique as the only award that gives every active lawyer in the state the opportunity to participate.
