Charlotte, NC – Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP is pleased to announce that Business North Carolina magazine has named Tom Griffin to its 2025 Power List, which recognizes the state’s most influential business leaders. Since 2012, Tom has served as managing partner of Parker Poe, a business law firm with deep roots and history in the Southeast and North Carolina, where it was founded.
"It’s an honor to be included on Business North Carolina's Power List, which is a reflection of the incredible work happening across our firm," Tom said. "I’m proud of our team of attorneys and business professionals, who are deeply committed to helping our clients thrive and strengthening the communities we serve across North Carolina and beyond."
As managing partner, Tom has steered the firm through many initiatives dedicated to strategic growth and community involvement. Last year, the firm expanded its lobbying services on Capitol Hill with the creation of Parker Poe Federal Strategies, a bipartisan lobbying practice. U.S. News & World Report named Parker Poe one of the best companies to work for among law firms in 2024, and, earlier this year, the Atlanta Business Chronicle ranked Parker Poe as the city’s fastest-growing law firm by number of attorneys. Tom also strongly supports Parker Poe’s efforts to give back to others through pro bono work, and frequently represents children in the North Carolina appellate courts through the state’s Guardian ad Litem program.
Business North Carolina magazine compiled the list after seeking nominations and conducting interviews and research.
