Akerman is proud to share that Business North Carolina has named nine of our lawyers to its 2024 Legal Elite list. The list honors lawyers chosen by their peers, with about 1,300 lawyers receiving votes.

The lawyers and their categories are:

• Andrew Felts (Real Estate)
• Paul Foley (Corporate Law)
• Kelly Otis (Real Estate)
• Jasmine Pitt (Young Gun)
• Donald Pocock (Litigation)
• Brittany Puckett (Young Gun)
• Kiki Scarff (Corporate Law)

Akerman has more than a dozen lawyers based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Office Managing Partner Paul Foley said Business North Carolina's recognition demonstrates the talent Akerman has invested in the state.

"When we opened this office in 2019 we were determined to offer the North Carolina business community the same top talent that Akerman is known for throughout the country," Foley said. "I think this list, and the numerous other accolades our team received last year, shows we've done just that."
