Raleigh, NC – Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP is pleased to announce Charles Raynal was inducted as a Fellow into the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in the United States and Canada.

He litigates business cases in federal and state courts, arbitrations, and government agency proceedings. Charles has extensive experience representing public and private companies, including their directors and officers, in corporate governance and shareholder lawsuits alleging violations of federal and state securities laws.

Charles has successfully defended clients in multi-plaintiff and class action lawsuits in state and federal courts in many different jurisdictions around the country. This class action experience includes securities litigation, consumer class actions, and financial services litigation.
