Kennedy Covington Lobdell & Hickman, L.L.P.

Bill Brian at Helm of Kennedy Covington's Land Use and Zoning Practice
Kennedy Covington, one of the largest law firms in the Carolinas, is pleased to announce that Bill Brian has been named Chair of the firm's Land Use and Zoning practice. This section, which includes 23 attorneys, focuses on zoning, land use and municipal law, real estate litigation and commercial real estate law. Brian practices out of the firm's RTP office, which is located in Durham.

In addition, Brian, who is widely known in his field, was recently named Chair of the North Carolina Bar Association's Zoning, Planning and Land Use Section. This newest section of the NCBA was formed in 2005, in response to the state's rapid real estate development and growing number of zoning and land use attorneys.

"Bill's knowledge, depth of experience and incredible work ethic make him a valuable asset to the firm, its clients and the practice of law as a whole," says Kent Christison, partner-in-charge of Kennedy Covington's Triangle offices. "However, what is unique about Bill is his intrinsic commitment to his community. He is able to effect long-term, positive change on a very large scale. That's what makes him a successful leader."

For the past 15 years, Brian has been active with the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce, currently serving on its Executive Committee as Vice Chairman for Government Affairs. He also chairs the Durham City/County Zoning Board of Adjustment; is a member of the City of Durham Citizens Capital Improvement Panel; serves on the Board of Directors of the Triangle Land Conservancy; and is a member of several other Triangle organizations.

"It's important for me to actively participate in moving my community forward," says Brian. "Watching Durham's continued economic evolution is exciting and motivating. I look forward to working on more beneficial projects with my clients and with the community overall."

This year, Chambers USA named Brian one of "America's Leading Lawyers for Business" for Land Use and Zoning. He was one of only five North Carolina lawyers listed in this section. Brian has been a featured speaker for the North Carolina Bar Association; the Wake Forest University School of Law Continuing Legal Education Program; the North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association; and for the Campbell University School of Law Agribusiness Conference. He also has written recent articles for Greater Wilmington Business and the Triangle Business Journal.
