Firm opens Raleigh office in response to growing client demand
Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, P.A. has expanded into North Carolina with the opening of a new office in Raleigh. The firm, which currently has 118 attorneys in four South Carolina offices, has seen steady growth in client demand from North Carolina. William C. McKinney, who rejoined the firm last summer after serving as general counsel to the Governor of North Carolina, will serve as lead office partner in Raleigh.
The firm’s new Raleigh office is in The Dillon at 223 South West Street, the first mixed-use development of its kind in downtown Raleigh’s rapidly expanding, vibrant Warehouse District.
“We have been considering a move into North Carolina for several years as we have seen more and more work coming from clients in the state,” said Nick Nicholson, the firm’s managing director. “When William decided to join us again, it was the perfect opportunity to make that a reality. We are excited about our new location in a growing area of Raleigh. It is a good anchor for us as we pursue this next step in our development as a firm and put down roots in this thriving community.”
