Norman commented, “It was great to be able to involve Gabby and Sabrina this year. Like Agustin and me, both began their legal careers as law clerks in the North Carolina Business Court. Dan was a law clerk as well with the Fourth Circuit, so we are happy to include him in our crew.” Brooks Pierce is widely recognized for its deep experience in the North Carolina Business Court. “This annual service takes significant effort and time, but we consider it an honor to be able to promote and support the important work of business courts operating across the country. Certainly, we remain grateful for the great clerkship experiences we had and how it prepared us to handle matters frequently in the North Carolina Business Court.”
