Experienced and Certified Labor & Employment Law - High-Quality & Cost-Effective Legal Services | Gignilliat, Savitz & Bettis - GS&B

Philosophy

Like employers, labor and employment law firms come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small firms with practices primarily limited to certain cities or counties. Some are massive organizations with offices all over the world. Some are not firms, but rather lawyers practicing in multiple areas of the law as part of larger organizations. The type of law firm that suits your organization will be dictated by a few key factors:

• Quality of representation
  
• Cost
• Short-term goals
• Long-term needs

Our firm is unique in that in we have maintained a small-firm atmosphere while being able to assist and represent employers in all of South Carolina’s 46 counties. That assistance comes in the form of nine attorneys with more than 150 years of combined legal practice. Every attorney in our firm who qualifies for certification by the South Carolina Supreme Court as a labor and employment law specialist -- eight of our nine lawyers -- is indeed certified.  And yet all of that experience is found in one easily accessible law firm. The result is the provision of legal services that are both high-quality and cost-effective to every type of employer imaginable.

We have also limited our practice in ways that directly benefit our clients. First, we operate from a single office solely within the borders of South Carolina. No satellite offices. No out-of-state headquarters. That keeps overhead at a minimum and promotes organizational efficiency. Second, since our doors first opened, we’ve represented management only. Our clients never have to worry that while we’re defending them in one case, we’re arguing a contrary position on behalf of a plaintiff in another case. Finally, we do one thing – labor and employment law. It’s a specialty field for a reason. It’s complex and constantly evolving, and it’s no place for an attorney to dabble. By focusing on one area of the law, we are able to quickly and efficiently provide whatever legal assistance you need.  And if you are a law firm looking to refer a client or associate counsel, you don't have to worry that we'll steal your client.  We have relationships with numeorus law firms to handle their clients' labor and employment law matters, as well as representing law firms themselves in their own employment-related issues.
