Triangle Business Journal Recognizes Byrd for Distinguished Estate Planning Practice
Manning Fulton is pleased to announce that attorney Steve Byrd has been named a 2026 Triangle Law Award recipient by Triangle Business Journal (TBJ), earning recognition as a distinguished legal professional in the Estate Planning practice area.
The Triangle Law Awards, an inaugural program established by the Triangle Business Journal, honors 20 attorneys in the Raleigh area selected from a competitive field of nominations spanning a broad range of practice areas, including corporate law, litigation, real estate, labor and employment, and estate planning. Honorees were evaluated based on professional experience, recent accomplishments, influence within key business sectors, and demonstrated commitment to community and nonprofit engagement.
Byrd’s selection reflects his decades of exceptional client service in estate and tax planning and his substantial contributions to organizations such as the Alexander YMCA and UNC Wilmington. “Steve’s recognition by Triangle Business Journal is well-deserved given his decades of service to our community, our clients, and our profession – and the sophisticated counsel he provides on complex wealth preservation and tax strategy matters is a reflection of the very best this firm has to offer,” said Judd Welborn, Manning Fulton’s Managing Partner.
In announcing the honorees, TBJ Market President and Publisher Sougata Mukherjee underscored the significance of the recognition, noting that the awards celebrate legal professionals who are playing a pivotal role in advancing the region’s economy and business community.
