In an interview with Invest: Raleigh-Durham, Brooks Pierce Managing Partner Jimmy Adams discussed the firm's expansion across North Carolina, evolving client needs, technology, and its approach to developing future leaders.
Adams highlighted the opening of the firm's Charlotte office, which joins its existing offices in Greensboro, Raleigh, and Wilmington. He noted that the firm brought on three litigation partners in Charlotte last year. He also pointed to North Carolina's business growth, from the JetZero groundbreaking in Greensboro to expansion in Raleigh, Charlotte, and Wilmington, and said the firm is positioned to serve clients with transactional, litigation, trust and estate, and white-collar needs.
On what drives the firm's longevity, Adams emphasized people and hiring, noting a roughly 90% to 95% retention rate. "We are hiring for our future every time we hire somebody," he said.
Speaking to companies entering the state, Adams said, "When clients come to North Carolina, we help them navigate the state's economic, regulatory, and real estate landscapes, among other issues."
