GREENVILLE, S.C. (JULY 31) – Four Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough attorneys based in Greenville have been recognized by Greenville Business Magazine on their list of "Legal Elite" in three practice areas:

• Greenville Managing Partner Tim Madden and partner Reid Sherard are recognized in family law;
• Partner Henry M. "Buzz" Burwell is recognized for his international practice; and
• Partner Neil Grayson is recognized for banking and finance.

In its first-ever survey, the magazine sent emails to 850 Greenville-area lawyers and asked them who, in their opinions, were the best lawyers in 20 practice areas. Respondents could nominate lawyers in their firms, but for each in-firm lawyer there had to be an out-of-firm lawyer nominated, although not necessarily in the same practice area.

A total of 95 lawyers were identified by their partners and peers as the Legal Elite of the Greenville area.

Greenville Business Magazine will honor the Legal Elite with a reception Aug. 16 at High Cotton.

Established in 1897, Nelson Mullins has more than 430 attorneys and government relations professionals with offices in Atlanta, Boston, Nashville, Tallahassee, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., and throughout the Carolinas.

Any result a lawyer or a law firm may achieve on behalf of one client in one matter does not necessarily indicate similar results can be obtained for other clients. Please contact a lawyer to discuss possible representation of you and your particular matter.
