Adams & Reese Attorneys Selected Among South Carolina’s 2026 “Legal Elite”

Six Adams & Reese attorneys have been selected among South Carolina's 2026 “Legal Elite.” The annual recognition honors South Carolina attorneys who are recognized by their peers for excellence in their respective practice areas.

As the only South Carolina regional awards program open to every active attorney, “Legal Elite” is determined solely by peer voting through an online nomination process. The program spotlights top vote recipients across 50 categories, with honorees selected through votes cast by attorneys throughout the state. Attorneys may nominate colleagues at their own firm only if they submit an equal number of nominations outside the firm; self-nominations are not permitted, and placement cannot be purchased.

The “Legal Elite 2026” list is published by Columbia Business Monthly, Greenville Business Magazine, and Charleston Business Magazine. All six Adams & Reese honorees serve the Midlands Region and represent the firm’s deep commitment to legal excellence across South Carolina and beyond.

The 2026 Adams & Reese honorees are:

Lyndey Bryant – Business Litigation

Taylor Stanley – Civil Litigation

Bill McElveen – Commercial Real Estate

Rob Bethea – Corporate Business Organization

Anthony Quattrone – Government Relations

Burnie Maybank – Tax and Estate Planning

Adams & Reese congratulates this year’s honorees on this well-deserved recognition. Their selection reflects the esteem they have earned from peers across the profession, as well as their continued commitment to serving clients with excellence, professionalism, and integrity.
