Whitney B. Harrison

Whitney delights in nuance, complexity, and unsettled law. Having clerked in both of South Carolina's appellate courts, Whitney's seasoned instincts inform her appellate strategy from the start of every case. As a key member of our trial teams, she anticipates and addresses legal issues at each stage of litigation while preserving the record for an appeal. By treating every case as one that will involve a trial and an appeal, Whitney provides comprehensive courtroom advocacy. Whitney has tried multiple cases to verdict, as well as handled landmark cases involving civil, criminal, family, utility, and administrative law.

Firms across the state associate her to assist with complex motions, trials, and appeals. Whitney has handled over fifty appeals, with issues ranging from constitutional challenges to corporate governance to novel law, before the Supreme Court of South Carolina and the South Carolina Court of Appeals. In January 2020, Whitney became the first woman to receive the South Carolina Bar's Trial and Appellate Advocacy Award. Outside of the courtroom, Whitney has served as an adjunct professor at Presbyterian College, teaching constitutional law.
