Smith Anderson Law Firm

About

Smith Anderson is a business and litigation law firm on Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh, founded in 1912 and now 114 years old. It works with regional, national, and global companies across the full range of business legal matters they face.

The firm keeps a single office, which it says keeps the team aligned and working together instead of split across cities. Many of its attorneys came from international firms, so clients get that level of experience at local market rates, which is the firm’s own pitch.
