Charlotte attorney David N. Allen has been selected by the State Bar’s Nominating Committee to stand for election to the office of vice-president of the North Carolina State Bar.

Allen is a double graduate of the University of North Carolina, earning his undergraduate degree in 1977 and his JD in 1980. He is currently a partner at Brooks Pierce, where he practices litigation on behalf of a broad range of clients. He has been trying cases for more than 30 years, with nearly 100 juries empaneled during that time.

A former president of the North Carolina Association of Defense Attorneys (NCADA), Allen is a frequent lecturer on both substantive and technical aspects of trial practice. He has presented for numerous continuing legal education programs, including recent appearances for both the NCADA and the North Carolina Advocates for Justice. In addition to serving on the State Bar Council, Allen is a member of the Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism and remains active with both the NCADA and the International Association of Defense Counsel.

Allen’s election will take place at the State Bar’s annual meeting in October 2025. At that time, Raleigh attorney Katherine Frye will assume the office of president, and Winston-Salem attorney Kevin G. Williams will stand for election to president-elect.
