Our Attorneys W. Andrew Arnold

Shareholder

For 27 years, Greenville attorney W. Andrew (Andy) Arnold’s litigated cases. Andy’s career started with a focus on labor and employment law. But after a multi-million dollar verdict against a billion dollar nursing home chain, his litigation practice diversified.  The common theme is that each case is high stakes. It’s the kind of case that will keep us all up at night. It’s the kind of case where experienced, creative, and aggressive representation must be non-negotiable.

And experience does not come from a book.  It does not come just sitting in front of a computer. The desired experience is “trial by fire.” It comes from picking juries, arguing motions, and making closing arguments. It comes from appealing the bad ones and cashing out the good ones. It comes from 26 years of litigating cases that mean something, and typically mean more than the money at stake — which is always enough to matter.

Andy has been consistently been recognized by his peers.  He has been named a Super Lawyer seven of the past eight years – an annual distinction held by only 5% of attorneys in each state. As an employment lawyer and litigator, he has also been recognized by The U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” rankings. Greenville Magazine has named Andy to their list of the Greenville Magazine’s “Legal Elite” the last 5 years running.

Andy’s litigation experience includes: Wrongful Discharge / Failure to Pay Wages; Wrongful Death; Non-Compete Defense / Trade Secrets; Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect; Age Discrimination (employment); Pregnancy Discrimination (employment); Dram Shop Cases; Race and Sex Discrimination (employment); Disability Discrimination (employment); FMLA Cases; Shareholder Oppression; Fraud; and Slander.

Currently, Andy maintains two standalone websites related to a couple of his practice areas: Greenville Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Guide and Beat Your Non-Compete.
