Lincoln Derr is proud to announce that Gwendolyn W. Lewis and Kathleen ("Kathi") Lucchesi have been named as honorees of "Business North Carolina's Legal Elite" by Business North Carolina Magazine. Ms. Lewis was listed as a 2020 Young Gun and Ms. Lucchesi was listed for her work in the area of Labor and Employment.

Ms. Lewis and Ms. Lucchesi have been chosen for this prestigious list by peer ballots sent to members of the State Bar residing in North Carolina.

Since 2002, Business North Carolina magazine has honored Tar Heel lawyers by publishing Business North Carolina's Legal Elite, a listing of the state's top lawyers in business-related categories.

Winners are chosen not by Business North Carolina editors but by the state's lawyers. Business North Carolina's Legal Elite has become the model for other awards and lists, but it remains unique as the only award that gives every active lawyer in the state the opportunity to participate.
