Halligan Mahoney Williams

Halligan Mahoney & Williams, P.A. is a mid-sized law firm dedicated to delivering high-quality, responsive, and cost-efficient legal services to our clients. Our commitment to providing exceptional legal representation extends across South Carolina, with our office located in Columbia, next to the State Capitol and South Carolina Supreme Court.

Our team of experienced attorneys has successfully handled numerous challenging and important cases decided by the South Carolina courts and federal courts for South Carolina. We have built a reputation for representing public school districts across South Carolina, but our expertise extends beyond education law. We offer a wide range of legal services tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients, whether they are institutions, non-profits, or businesses.

We understand that our clients face external risks on many fronts and the challenge of efficiently carrying out their functions and purposes. Our attorneys take pride in helping clients realize their goals in an increasingly complex legal environment. We believe that each client is a client of the entire firm, ensuring that the right team is always at your service. Each client benefits from the availability of our deep reserve of expertise and experience across many fields of law, without the compartmentalization of a large, sprawling firm.

Many of our clients operate under constant public scrutiny and tense political circumstances. We invest in the knowledge, relationships, mutual trust, and shared wisdom that bring value to the client relationship. While our preference is to quietly facilitate the client's success, we are also prepared for disputes that must be litigated. Our attorneys have successfully handled many of the challenging and important cases decided by the South Carolina courts and the federal courts for South Carolina.

We maintain an active practice handling insurance defense cases for our clients. Our clients also encounter litigation challenges unique to their legal environments, especially clients in the public sector or involved in specially regulated businesses. Finally, in some instances, the best interests of the client can require voluntary litigation to protect and advance the client's interests.

At Halligan Mahoney & Williams, P.A., we believe in building strong relationships with our clients. We understand that the legal advice we provide must consider not only the legal aspects of a case, but also the practical considerations, such as cost or effects on other people. We strive to provide advice that is not only legally sound, but also takes into account the broader context and potential implications for our clients.
