David L. McKenzie is joining the Raleigh office of Sands Anderson PC and will become the lead litigator for the law firm's clients in North Carolina, Managing Shareholder Paul C. Jacobson announced today.

"David brings stellar skills in client advocacy, trial tactics, business and intellectual property law to our clients as well as an enviable record of  courtroom experience," said Jacobson, who explained that Sands Anderson is acquiring McKenzie's solo practice.
