S. Harrison Williams

Attorney

Harrison started his legal career by clerking for South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Mark Hayes in Spartanburg. During his year long clerkship, Harrison witnessed firsthand numerous court proceedings, trials, jury selections, chamber meetings, and hearings. His clerkship also allowed him the opportunity to travel the state to different courthouses, where he was able to meet numerous judges and attorneys from all over South Carolina.

  • Following his clerkship, Harrison moved to Charleston, South Carolina where he worked for a well-respected defense firm. There, Harrison worked on cases involving the defense of architects and engineers, insurance coverage matters, the litigation of intellectual property disputes, and the defense of fixed based operators in litigation related to catastrophic aircraft injuries.

    After working for several years in Charleston, Harrison moved to his wife’s hometown of Hilton Head where he joined an established local law firm in Bluffton where he gained extensive experience in and out of the courtroom, including representing plaintiffs and defendants in both jury and bench trials.

    Harrison’s practice focuses on civil litigation, both on the plaintiff and defense sides. Harrison has handled cases ranging from business disputes, real estate disputes, copyright, trademark, construction defects, TCPA claims, medical malpractice, legal malpractice, property owners’ association litigation, personal injury, debt collection, and insurance coverage matters. Harrison brings a unique perspective to his cases having represented clients, large and small, on both sides of a dispute.

    Harrison is admitted in all South Carolina State Courts, the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

  • Harrison was born and raised in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where his father is a small business owner, and his mother is a school teacher for children with special needs. Harrison graduated from Clemson University in 2011 with a B.A. in History and a minor in Legal Studies. While in college, he was a member of the William T. Howell pre-law society. Harrison graduated cum laude from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2015. During law school, he was the Associate Editor in Chief of the South Carolina Law Review. Harrison’s student note was published in the law review’s annual Survey of South Carolina Law, and he received the CALI Award of Excellence in Contracts and Electronic Discovery. Harrison also was a member of the Order of the Wig and Robe and Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity, and served as a student attorney in the law school’s consumer bankruptcy clinic, which provides legal aid to those who cannot afford it.

    Harrison currently resides in Hilton Head with his wife, Lauren, and their son. When he is not advocating for his clients, Harrison enjoys spending time with his family, cooking, traveling with friends, and, when he can find the time, skiing out West.
