Perspective & Impact

Perspective. The Ellis Lawhorne perspective is refreshing. You feel it in our firm, see it in our people. A sense of warmth and welcome. Intelligence and integrity. Confidence and compassion. Perspective is not driven entirely by experience. It comes from listening to our clients, understanding your opportunities and challenges, appreciating your point of view.

Scope of Services.  Established in 1980, Ellis Lawhorne is considered one of South Carolina's premier full-service law firms.  Located in Columbia, we provide legal services to local and regional clients and serve as local counsel to numerous national companies.  The firm is structured around four practice areas, recognizing that situations-and clients-do not always fit neatly into each category.  In such cases, our multi-faceted expertise and genial culture are leveraged so clients enjoy the convenience and expediency of a relationship with a single firm, yet benefit from the strengths of many attorneys practicing diverse, yet complementary, areas of law.

Trust and Responsiveness.  We are respectful of your privacy and the trust you place in us.  Responsiveness and professionalism are what you expect from your legal counsel. Representing you in a successful manner is what drives our firm. The attorneys and staff of Ellis Lawhorne will work to exceed your expectations.

Leadership.  At Ellis Lawhorne, we recognize actions speak louder than words.  Giving back to our profession and our community is important to us.  Efforts outside the firm teach important lessons that influence everything we do.  Giving expands our perspective and makes us better attorneys and citizens.

Law Firm Alliance.  Ellis Lawhorne is a member of the Law Firm Alliance, which is an alliance of mid-sized law firms created to provide clients with capable and responsive legal services through a reliable national and international network of member firms.
