According to the results of the fifth annual Corporate Board Member magazine Legal Industry Research Study, corporate directors have selected Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP as one of the best law firms in Charlotte. Parker Poe has been included among the top five firms in Charlotte in each Legal Industry Research Study since its inception in 2001.

Corporate Board Member’s annual study identifies the top 20 national corporate law firms and the top five corporate law firms in 25 major metropolitan areas, according to directors serving on boards of publicly traded companies listed with the NASDAQ Stock Market, New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange.

“What makes these ratings unique is that they’re made not by other lawyers, from afar, but by the people ultimately responsible for hiring corporate law firms, weighing their advice and paying their attention-getting bills,” said William S. Rukeyser, editorial director of Corporate Board Member.

Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP currently has more than 175 lawyers, with five offices in the Carolinas. Parker Poe has North Carolina offices in Charlotte and Raleigh and South Carolina offices in Charleston, Columbia and Spartanburg.
