Troutman Sanders Attorneys Named 'Rising Stars' in North Carolina
February 16, 2010
RALEIGH, N.C. – Troutman Sanders LLP is pleased to announce that two of its lawyers have been selected for inclusion in the 2010 edition of Law & Politics’ North Carolina Super Lawyers as Rising Stars.
For inclusion and distinction as a “Rising Star,” attorneys are selected by the most recent group of “Super Lawyers” – representing just 5 percent of attorneys in North Carolina – and independent research by Law & Politics. The Super Lawyers are asked to vote for leading attorneys who are either 40 or under, or who have been practicing 10 years or fewer. They are also instructed to vote for lawyers they have personally observed in action (opposing counsel, co-counsel or other first-hand courtroom observation).
Only 2.5 percent of North Carolina attorneys are named Rising Stars, and combined, they represent more than 60 practice areas.
Troutman Sanders’ 2010 North Carolina Rising Stars are:
