“Our firm has always been committed to giving back to our communities,” said William Floyd, Chair of Nexsen Pruet’s Pro Bono Committee. “I am proud of all the lawyers who are giving of their time and talent, and I am grateful to be part of a firm that supports health care heroes in both Carolinas.”

Two recent examples of Nexsen Pruet’s Pro Bono work come from Charlotte, NC and Greenwood, SC. On July 28 at Brightmore in Charlotte, Nexsen Pruet attorneys and staff prepared, delivered and executed more than 60 customized legal documents for employees.
