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 2021 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.

A deep-rooted knowledge of clients’ businesses, the consumer marketplace, and the regulatory and legal frameworks for our clients’ interactions with consumers in those markets informs our approach to class action and multi-claim litigation. We represent clients in the following industries

Multidistrict litigation
Attorneys on our Multi-Claim and Class Action Team are leaders in their respective fields, with deep knowledge of legal, business, medical, and technical issues involved in the defense of such litigation, not only as advocates but as thought leaders—writing, speaking, and participating in such initiatives as the LCJ Class Action Committee and the ALI Principles on Aggregate Litigation and writers and speakers for CLEs and professional publications.
We work with clients to customize defense strategies depending on the nature of the matter and the client’s business and litigation goals. Whether we are attacking class certification, coordinating discovery across a large inventory of cases, targeting weak and unsubstantiated claims through strategic motions, or sequencing discovery and motions in MDL, we strive to achieve these goals using cost-effective means.
Following is a selected sampling of matters and is provided for informational purposes only. Past success does not indicate the likelihood of success in any future matter.
