Attorney from Interlaw’s Charlotte, North Carolina Firm Receives Tax Law Lifetime Achievement and Service Award
Herman Spence III, attorney at Robinson Bradshaw, Interlaw’s partner firm in Charlotte, North Carolina in the US, has received the North Carolina Bar Association Tax Section’s Tax Law Lifetime Achievement and Service Award for 2025.
Herman, only the third recipient of the award, was honored at the Section’s annual meeting. The award recognizes his “outstanding professional work and exemplary reputation in tax matters” and his “extraordinary service to the Section, the legal profession and the public in endeavors relating to the field of tax law and the mission and activities of the Section.”
Herman has been an attorney at Robinson Bradshaw for more than 40 years, first joining the firm in 1983 after clerking on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. He has earned a reputation for his encyclopedic breadth and depth of tax knowledge, gained in part through his counsel across the firm’s practice areas spanning corporate, litigation, real estate, and trusts and estates matters.
In addition to chairing Robinson Bradshaw’s tax department, he has also served as the chair of the Mecklenburg Bar Association’s Tax Section, a board member and editor of the NCBA Tax Section Newsletter, a member of the National Association of Bond Lawyers and a member of the UNC-Chapel Hill board of visitors.
He is also consistently recognized in legal award publications including Chambers, Best Lawyers and North Carolina Super Lawyers.
