Yarborough Applegate is excited to welcome its newest attorney, Liam Duffy. The firm first met Liam when he came to work here in 2015 while studying at the Charleston School of Law. After graduating summa cum laude, Liam went on to work for one of Charleston’s top litigation firms where he represented both plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes cases. Now, we’re glad to have him back and look forward to his leadership when it comes to navigating complex litigation.
“Liam is a great asset to our team and we believe he will provide significant benefit to our clients as well. He works relentlessly to achieve top-notch results and we are thrilled he has joined our firm.”
-Douglas Jennings, Yarborough Applegate Partner
A D.C. native, Liam has now called Charleston home for over ten years and looks forward to fighting for those in the community who are most desperately in need of legal help.
“I’m incredibly excited to be re-joining the firm and a team that is tirelessly committed to helping others by pursuing justice for our clients. I look forward to putting my heart and hard work toward making our state a safer and more just place to live.”
-Liam Duffy
Liam is active in the South Carolina Bar Young Lawyers Division, is a member of the South Carolina House of Delegates and serves as Vice President of the Charleston Lawyers Club. He is involved with Special Olympics South Carolina and Make-A-Wish® South Carolina. When he’s not working or spending time with these organizations, Liam can be found cooking, traveling, seeking out live music or playing sports.
This month, join us as we commemorate some of our team’s incredible accomplishments in both their personal and professional lives.
As we savor the final days of 2021, we wanted to take a moment and revisit some of the year’s defining movements for our team here at Yarborough Applegate, and extend our deepest gratitude to all those who we’ve had the honor of working with along the way.
Yarborough Applegate attorney Liam Duffy continues his thought leadership amongst trial lawyers in his latest published article, “The Golden Rule in Opening Statement and Closing Argument: What It Is and What It Isn’t.”
Duffy revisited several third-party injury and death cases in which he and the Yarborough Applegate team have sought and obtained significant recovery outside of the workers compensation system.
His talk, “Third-Party Premises Liability in Workplace Injuries & Deaths,” addressed handling premises and products liability in workplace injury settings.
His presentation focused on obtaining and utilizing forensic cell phone evidence in litigation, specifically in regards to trucking/tractor trailer cases.
