Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP

ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

Back in 1919 in Greensboro, N.C., Julius Smith began a legal practice that would later become Smith Moore LLP. With another office in Raleigh and an Atlanta office that takes advantage of yet one more thriving southern capital, the firm is doing quite well over 65 years after its founding. In 2005 it expanded its presence in the Old North State with the opening of a Wilmington location and by filching seven Holt York legal eagles for the Raleigh office. Smith Moore has also furthered its legal offerings with the creation of a team focused on biosciences, of which there are many companies in the region. The firm plans to bring its knowledge to a wide range of sectors within the field, such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Smith Moore considers itself a skilled generalist and the new practice area joins the firm's respected existing commercial, product liability and antitrust litigation, health care, business, labor and employment, and real estate practices.
