About Drew
Drew Richards built a steady educational foundation before getting into the practice of regulation. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2000 and finished his law degree at the University of Wisconsin 6Madison in 2005. Those years set a direction that introduced him into practice across two states.
He moved into company lifestyles quickly after law school. By 2007 he used to be listed as a lawyer and partner at Copeland Richards, PLLC. That position has described so much of his professional life since, anchoring him in day-to-day litigation and counseling at a small company degree.
Richards is licensed to practice in North Carolina and Wisconsin. He has maintained memberships in both the North Carolina Bar Association and the Wisconsin Bar Association since 2007. Those ties mirror an ongoing engagement with the professional communities in each state.
Outside the bar registers, Richards has taken on community and congregational duties. He served at the board of Our Towns Habitat for Humanity from 2013 to 2016. Since 2015 he has held a management role as an elder at Storyhill Church, a role he continues to occupy. These roles have given him experience in nonprofit governance and volunteer coordination along his private practice work.
Colleagues describe him as steady and pragmatic. He tends to work on things that require attention to both procedural element and the realistic needs of clients. Over the years he has treated a range of legal duties on the firm, frequently balancing client advising with the operational demands of partnership.
The arc of his career indicates continuity. Education in the late Nineteen Nineties and early 2000s led to a Juris Doctor and then to a partnership that started in 2007. Since then he has stored one foot in the nearby civic world and the other firmly in legal practice. He continues to represent clients through Copeland Richards, PLLC and handles matters across his admitted jurisdictions.
