In January 1897, attorney P.H. Nelson left his position as solicitor of the Fifth Judicial Circuit to set up a private law practice in Columbia, S.C. The State newspaper contained a short but prescient news item on Jan. 26 about the endeavor, which noted that "the new firm should meet with great success."
And they were right. Today, Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP offers legal services in 15 states and the District of Columbia from 31 offices with 930+ attorneys, policy advisors, and professionals. It is the 71st largest law firm in the nation based on 2020 gross revenues, according to The American Lawyer’s Am Law 100, a legal news organization that tracks law firm growth.
Throughout 2022, Nelson Mullins will be sharing seminal events from its history that highlight its growth from a one-man firm in 1897 to where we are today. Click here to learn more.

New data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) indicates that the divide between rural and urban areas in COVID-19 primary vaccination coverage has more than doubled in under a year.
Vaccine Hesitancy and the Growing DivideOur Korea practice team, led by June Lee, represents Korea-based businesses seeking to operate in the United States. The team, consisting of fluent Korean-speaking lawyers with more than 60 years of combined experience working with or at Korean companies, collaborates with clients to achieve their business goals and growth objectives.
We have long-established relationships with the top law firms in Korea. We work with them to help U.S. businesses embark on new enterprises in Korea. The firms also refer Korean businesses to us to help them establish operations in the United States.
Through years of experience working for Korean and multinational companies, our lawyers are practiced hands with Korean business culture and customs. They understand the culture’s communication and negotiation styles, relationship-building focus, and the decision-making process. Their knowledge and experience help meet clients’ legal needs smoothly and efficiently.
The U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) went into effect in 2012. The treaty rolled back 95% of each nation's tariffs on goods within five years, increased intellectual property rights, and established new protections for multinational financial services and other firms. Most of our Korea-based clients import parts or materials from their Korean parent companies. Last spring, the Trump administration announced its plan to re-negotiate or terminate the deal. On September 25, 2018, U.S. and South Korea signed the revised KORUS which took effect as of January 2019. The revision will have serious consequences for both U.S. and South Korean companies benefiting from the treaty’s provisions. Our lawyers advise our clients on relevant developments and how the amended FTA may affect their operations.
