Business is booming in Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice’s backyard. And the Winston-Salem-based firm now stands to catch more of it. A recent state appellate court decision upheld $300 million worth of economic incentives that Womble lawyers helped negotiate for Dell Inc. The decision is also good news for Google Inc., which is facing its own suit over a similar deal it cut last winter with Womble’s help, worth more than $200 million.
On Oct. 16, the North Carolina Court of Appeals upheld the package of tax breaks and grants that the state offered Dell for locating a plant in Winston-Salem. The decision is just the latest in a string of lucrative deals and court wins for Womble’s economic development practice. “We’ve become the firm to deal with,” says Womble’s Burley Mitchell Jr., who is representing both Google and Dell, “from coming in and getting incentives to having them upheld legally.”
