“Those of us in Raleigh are especially pleased with this result,” said Henry Campen, Raleigh office managing partner. “Charles has been a transformational Mayor for Raleigh. We need his continued leadership in the difficult times we now face. I know the entire firm shares our pride in this achievement by Charles.”
