Business Transactions
Our attorneys bring decades of experience to the representation of individual and corporate clients in complex litigation and appeals in state and federal court. We also maintain a robust alternative dispute resolution (ADR) practice, represent professionals throughout the state, and handle business transactions of varying type and dimension.
Construction Contracts
“Pay-if-paid” and “pay-when-paid” clauses are commonly used in construction contracts to shift the risk of non-payment between contractors and subcontractors. When a contract includes a “pay-if-paid” clause, the risk of non-payment falls on the subcontractor. The subcontractor is only entitled to payment if the contractor receives payment from the property owner (or another payor). Under a “pay-when-paid” clause, however, the risk of non-payment rests with the contractor. The when aspect of the clause presumes that the contractor actually collect for the job – and even if the contractor is not paid, it must still compensate the subcontractor within a stipulated time frame.
Intellectual Property

Workers Compensation
Employment Contract
Generally speaking, yes. Mandatory mediation and arbitration clauses are enforceable in South Carolina. Mandatory arbitration clauses in business-to-business contracts will typically be enforced unless there are extenuating circumstances, and the South Carolina courts routinely enforce mandatory ADR clauses in insurance and employment contracts as well (although these may be subject to closer scrutiny in certain circumstances).

Premises Liability
George V. (“Geov”) Hanna, IV, is a member of our firm’s litigation practice and focuses his practice primarily in the areas of premises liability, construction, automobile insurance, professional liability, and products liability defense.
