Last week, the Yarborough Applegate team traveled to Columbia to participate in the South Carolina Association for Justice’s 2024 Legislative Reception and annual Young Lawyers Seminar.
As trial lawyers, we have a unique and weighted charge: telling our client’s story. This is both a responsibility and a privilege, particularly in cases involving wrongful death.
On the eve of trial, Yarborough Applegate secured a $16 million settlement for the parents of a six-month-old infant who died after being improperly placed on his side for a nap at a South Carolina daycare.
Duffy and Dodds hope the first-of-its-kind release will continue to educate the state Bar and Judiciary on the impropriety of written discovery obstruction and gamesmanship by providing a picture of the judicial landscape on those issues across the state.
Several hundred fellow trial lawyers and other legal professionals attended the seminar, including his talk on “Tech-Savvy Tips for Enhancing Case Value & Improving Evidence Presentations.”
Liam Duffy shares what has shaped him, what drives him, and what he hopes his lasting legacy will be.
South Carolina Association for Justice’s 2023 Annual Convention brought trial attorneys from across the state together for three days of legal seminars and professional networking on Hilton Head Island.
We are thrilled to announce that Liam Duffy was named the South Carolina Bar’s 2022–2023 Young Lawyer of the Year, which recognizes dedication and service to the legal profession and their community.
The list, compiled each year by Super Lawyers magazine, honors attorneys via a patented multiphase selection process. It recognizes a mere 5 percent of attorneys in each state.
Just a few months into 2023, our team has already been on the ground at events around the state. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to.
The seminar was devoted to sharing and collaborating on strategies for discovery, depositions, and trial and included a star-studded lineup of trial lawyers recruited by Duffy from across South Carolina and the country.
Duffy’s presentation covered our team’s strategic approaches that proved to be difference-makers in a recent workplace injury case.
