Nexsen Pruet is the only law firm listed for both North and South Carolina in the newly published "2nd Annual Trade Allies Directory." The directory is compiled by Southern Business & Development magazine and lists "The South's Best Economic Development Law Firms."

Attorneys Ernie Pearson and April Lucas serve as co-chairs of the Nexsen Pruet Economic Development Practice Group. Nexsen Pruet and Pearson's former firm, Sandford Holshouser, were also listed in a 2008 publication from SB&D entitled "Top 10 Law Firms that Understand Economic Development."

As an introduction to the latest directory, publisher Mike Randle writes:
"There are other professionals outside of economic developers that need to be involved in your investment to see it through in the American South. These service providers to economic development agencies are what we like to call 'Trade Allies.' Southern Business & Development, a sister publication to The Randle Report, recently conducted a survey of the South's economic development community asking them to vote on what they believe are the region's best law firms, utilities, contractors, engineers and site location consultants as they relate to economic development matters in the South's 14 states. We received over 500 votes in the survey."

For more than 20 years, Nexsen Pruet's economic development attorneys have helped hundreds of companies, from around the world, establish manufacturing, tourism, distribution, healthcare, corporate office and other commercial facilities in the Carolinas.
