Best Lawyers has named two Parker Poe attorneys as “Lawyers of the Year.” Catharine Biggs Arrowood was named “Raleigh Best Lawyers Bet-the-Company Litigator of the Year” and Harvey L. Cosper, Jr. was named “Charlotte Best Lawyers Personal Injury Litigator of the Year” for 2009.

Only one lawyer in each specialty is named Lawyer of the Year within a market. The designation is based on recognition from fellow lawyers in each area and specialty.

Catharine Arrowood represents both large and small businesses and has considerable experience with regulated companies. These clients include utilities, insurance companies, accounting and law firms, health care and biotech firms and a commercial jet engine repair company with worldwide facilities.

A member of the Torts, Trials & Insurance group, Harvey Cosper has more than 30 years of experience in trial and appellate courts at both the state and federal levels. He represents hospitals, physicians, nurses, allied medical professionals, attorneys, accountants, medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and their insurers.
