CHARLOTTE — Lawyers across the state made their selections again this year for Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite, published in the magazine’s January edition. Statewide, 603 lawyers — about 3% of the total — were picked by their peers in 14 mostly business-related categories. Notices were sent to more than 19,000 active members of the North Carolina State Bar living in the state, directing them to the ballot on the magazine’s Web site, www.BusinessNC.com. Voters could not pick themselves, and they could select partners and associates only if they also select lawyers outside the firm in the same categories. Greensboro-based Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP had the most lawyers on the list with 24. Pittsburgh-based K&L Gates LLP was second with 20. This year’s top vote-getters, by specialty, are:
