Change of address for Wicker


Former Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker and his team of government relations lawyers and consultants are moving to a new law firm today.

The Wicker crew is slated to set up shop with Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, where Wicker will join as a partner. Wicker is leaving Columbus, Ohio-based Schottenstein Zox & Dunn, for which he had opened a Raleigh office in early 2008.

The four other members of his government relations team will be joining him, including Peter Hans, a former uberstrategist for Republicans and current vice chairman of the UNC Board of Governors.

Wicker, a Democrat, served as lieutenant governor from 1993 to 2001. Nelson Mullins is home to two of the capital’s best known lobbyists, Zeb Alley and George Teague.

Re: Change of address for Wicker

Peter Hans was never an "uberstrategist"-He was a back stabbing opportunist.
