Government Representation

We represent all levels of state and local government in litigation, governance, and corporate matters. And our experience helps private clients advance their interests before governmental bodies.

State and local governments face unique challenges which private businesses do not. They are created and limited by statute. They are subject to constitutional restraints and public records laws. They have exclusive immunities and protections, powers, and rights. They also simultaneously fill different roles, including policy maker, regulator, and market participant. And often there is no margin for error.

Governmental bodies therefore need experienced counsel to protect their interests. And private parties with matters involving the government need counsel who can effectively navigate this complex field. When the stakes are high, governments and those they serve turn to Willoughby Humphrey & D’Antoni.

We know how government works. Our government representation attorneys have represented state agencies and legislators, elected and appointed officials, counties, municipalities, state and local utilities, and a wide range of other public bodies, boards, and commissions. And we have represented private parties with claims against the government. In all cases, we have forged deep relationships across South Carolina and built a strong reputation of trust, candor, and competence. Having represented both government entities and private parties against governments, our attorneys who specialize in this area are uniquely poised to assist clients in all matters involving state and local government.
