Charleston Business Magazine recently named Liam Duffy one of 2020’s Best & Brightest 35 and Under. An annual tradition, the Best & Brightest 35 and Under Awards celebrates the women and men who are rising stars in our local business community.
“As a natural-born competitor, being a trial lawyer was the perfect calling,” Liam says. “Every day, I wake up with a relentless drive to improve the lives of my clients and others by championing the ideals of justice in courtrooms across South Carolina and beyond.”
In addition to this honor from Charleston Business Magazine, Liam has also been selected as a Top 40 Under 40 honoree by The National Trial Lawyers, as well as being recognized by Super Lawyers as a “Rising Star” for 2020.
Liam’s practice focuses exclusively on catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, including those involving electrocutions, product liability, workplace injuries, dram shop, premises liability, and more. His creativeness, technological savvy, and forward-thinking approach to trial work have helped his clients achieve numerous multi-million-dollar results, including a $21 million dollar jury verdict in 2019.
