Phelps Dunbar is expanding its Raleigh office with more services and plans for a larger space to leave its insurance-centric roots behind as it faces growing competition in North Carolina's capital city.
The New Orleans-founded firm opened its Raleigh office in November 2011 as part of the firm's goal of "becoming the preeminent firm in the southern region of the United States," the firm announced at the time. It has opted to grow "in a disciplined way" within a Southeastern footprint for decades, said managing partner Marshall Redmon.
