Jeremy Bowers: business analyst, adviser, counselor. Jeremy has a passion for the law — and for business. During his years at Barnwell Whaley, he has been involved in many complex lawsuits focusing on product liability, dram shop, professional malpractice, commercial litigation, trade secrets, and land development disputes. He has also counseled numerous local and national businesses and entrepreneurs in breach of contract, trade secrets, fraud, landlord/tenant, judgment collection, and other commercial disputes. Jeremy’s strong business and accounting background helps him view the world of litigation through a lens different than most attorneys. He integrates practical business analytics into his legal practice, enabling him to guide clients in making informed business decisions, not just effective litigation choices.
Jeremy’s undergraduate (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) and graduate (Master of Science, Accounting) studies focused on financial analysis, information value and content, and cost management. Jeremy interned for a national manufacturer, and during the internship, he developed an information system to automate the company’s accounts receivables, streamlined the company’s month-end financial statement process, and evaluated the profitability of moving one of the company’s production lines to another facility.
While attending The Ohio State University, Jeremy served as the event coordinator for the Deloitte and Touche Business Plan Competition, allowing him to assess scores of business plans and financial models. He remained involved in this competition for several years as an adviser to students entering the competition. In addition, Jeremy co-founded the Business Builders Club, a student organization devoted to fostering and developing the entrepreneurial spirit of Ohio State students. He also served as a graduate fellow at the school’s Center for Entrepreneurship.
During law school at the University of South Carolina, Jeremy was a member of the Law Review. Before joining Barnwell Whaley, Jeremy worked for two years at Svalina Law Firm, P.A., a plaintiff’s litigation firm in Beaufort, South Carolina.
Jeremy was chosen as a 2016 South Carolina Super Lawyers Rising Star and is listed as a Top Rated Professional Liability Attorney in Charleston, SC.
When not practicing law, Jeremy enjoys spending time with his wife, Hannah, and their three beautiful little girls. Together, they love going to the beach and all the festivals, fairs, and parks the great city of Charleston offers throughout the year. Jeremy also enjoys daily walks with his 120lb lap dog and working on various yard projects, such as building a playground for his daughters or installing a stone patio. He previously served as an adviser to BabyWill.org, a non-profit organization aimed at raising money for research and assisting families impacted by Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
