Practice areas

One of the central practice areas for Barnwell Whaley is its insurance defense practice, which represents numerous insurance carriers and self-insured businesses in the state. The firm is frequently retained to defend insured individuals and businesses who have been sued in negligence actions, including professional liability and malpractice, product liability, construction defects, vehicular accidents, premises liability, and other insured risks.

The common thread that connects all of Barnwell Whaley’s practice areas is complexity. Barnwell Whaley Patterson and Helms’ attorneys have been described by their peers as “lawyers’ lawyers.” The firm is frequently called by other attorneys to help at trial and is often selected to handle the most difficult cases in a company’s portfolio.

Keys to Success

Barnwell Whaley is dedicated to obtaining the best possible outcome for its clients. Often that means carefully and thoroughly preparing a case for trial and then trying the case to a decision. However, there are times when a thoughtfully negotiated settlement is in the best interest of the client. In any case, the firm puts the needs and best interests of its clients first. Many of the attorneys are certified mediators and arbitrators, certified by the South Carolina Bar Association and trained to provide skilled, experienced, objective facilitation of a resolution amenable to both parties.
