Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is proud to share that partner Douglass P. Selby has been named a Distinguished Leaders honoree at the 2026 Southeastern Legal Awards, hosted by the Daily Report. Previously known as the Georgia Legal Awards, the program was expanded to include Georgia plus North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Distinguished Leader honorees are attorneys who achieved impressive results in 2025 and demonstrated clear leadership skills that helped them achieve those results. Selby was recognized for his role as lead counsel in several groundbreaking transactions, including the largest green bond issuance for a U.S. airport.

Selby serves as managing partner of the firm’s Atlanta office and co-chair of the national public finance practice group. His practice focuses on public finance, including serving as bond and disclosure counsel to issuers and underwriters’ counsel to investment banks for governmental and private activity bonds, and corporate representation of governmental authorities as outside general counsel.

The winners and finalists for the 2026 Southeastern Legal Awards will be celebrated in a special section of the Daily Report in May as well as at an awards dinner in Atlanta on May 7. View the full list of honorees and finalists.
