Nelson Mullins’ Columbia SC office was established in 1897 by Patrick Henry Nelson. Today in Columbia, we have approximately 115 attorneys and 230 support staff providing client services across a range of practice areas, including corporate, litigation, intellectual property, government relations, and e-discovery.
Nelson Mullins’ office in Columbia also hosts the Firm’s business and administrative functions, including our financial, human resources, marketing, operations and technology teams, enabling us to maintain infrastructure cost-efficiencies while also providing access to talent here in South Carolina’s capital city. Located just blocks from the South Carolina State House building and minutes from the University of South Carolina, other downtown businesses, the Columbia Museum of Art, and the “Vista” arts area, Nelson Mullins has established itself as a prominent presence in the Columbia legal and business communities.
As the firm's oldest and largest office, Nelson Mullins' Columbia location has grown hand in hand with South Carolina's capital city as it has grown. Columbia Office Managing Partner Sally Caver gives a full overview of the office.
Because Columbia is a mid-sized city with a smaller legal market, Columbia associate Amber Hendrick says her team entrusts litigation associates with the big picture responsibilities that will help them flourish as lawyers. She and her peers have taken on major legal projects, run their own cases, drafted entire motions, argued for summary judgment in court, and handled mediations and settlements on their own.
Partner Cory Manning is passionate about the work of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. And since Cory is passionate about the organization, so is Nelson Mullins.
Corporate and Real Estate Team Leader Dan Fritze says his team of 12 attorneys and one paralegal focuses its diverse experience to help companies in legal matters that arise through the life cycle of a business, from corporate governance and formation to mergers and acquisitions.
Partner Julie Flaming talks about how Nelson Mullins Encompass, the firm’s e-discovery practice, has community service in the local community at the heart of its values.
The franchise litigation team has handled matters for companies, some in the Fortune 100, that make cars, trucks, motorcycles, power sports and motor scooters, ATVs, and airplanes from coast to coast. But the practice is based right here in Columbia, South Carolina. Columbia partner Steve McKelvey talks about the firm’s foothold in the automotive industry.
Columbia partner Mark Jones heads Nelson Mullins’ national litigation practice of over 400 attorneys nationwide. Though it is the firm’s largest and most diverse practice, the litigation team found its start in South Carolina’s capital city. Over the years, it has organically grown into a nationally recognized practice that adapts to the needs of the communities and markets we serve.
For Columbia partner Carmen Thomas, raising awareness about heart disease is personal to her family. But she doesn’t keep the cause to herself. Each year, Thomas organizes the firm’s participation in the Midlands Heart Association’s Heart Walk, leading the team through downtown Columbia for the sake of heart health.
