Greenville Law Firm expands to Charleston and NC

Kim and Lahey Greenville Law Firm welcomes attorneys Casey Martens to our new North Carolina office, as well as B.C. Killough and Ernest B. Lipscomb, III in our newly established Charleston office. Moving forward, the firm will operate under the tradename Kim, Lahey & Killough.

These additions expand the firm’s geographical reach, enhancing its capabilities in providing legal services to companies ranging from start-ups and early ventures to established international markets throughout the Carolinas. Additionally, these combinations broaden the industries the firm can serve, including manufacturing, software, energy, finance, hospitality, tourism, and technology. Key practice areas will include intellectual property, business and commercial litigation, mediation, employment, corporate and business matters, mergers and acquisitions, contracts, and cybersecurity. Each individual firm brings unique benefits along with them.


North Carolina

Kim, Lahey & Killough is committed to advancing diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. Adding Casey to the team continues the active promotion of their passionate commitment to improve diversity in this field. The expansion into North Carolina has been secured by a new office location in Brevard, NC.

The practice areas of the firms are complementary and will heighten our presence in the South and North Carolina economies. “The practice strengths, collaborative culture and focus on providing exceptional client-centric service will help us to deliver even greater value to our clients. We’re confident that this combination will accelerate our growth and lead to long-term, sustained success,” says Doug Kim.

Casey Martens

headshot of attorney Casey MartenCasey Martens brings a unique mix of interests and experience in public service and small-business restaurant management to her litigation contact and employment law practice.

Some of Casey’s highlights are her work with the South Carolina ACLU on prison reform, the League of Women Voters Voting Rights Act presentations and voter registration to South Carolina high schools, and the Young Lawyers Association’s initiative for educating students about the intersection and impact of social media, technology, and the law. For these and her other efforts, Casey was awarded the “William Bennett Regan Award for Outstanding Public Service” by the Charleston School of Law.

Experience has its advantages. With a decade of small-business management to draw on, Casey recognizes the realities and challenges that employers and employees face in small business settings. Her tenure in the food, beverage and hospitality industries gives her a uniquely informed view of how-to best structure and implement preventative measures such as policies, procedures, and employee manuals. Casey is adept at how to approach social issues like sexual harassment and racial discrimination, as well as financial issues such as non-payment of wages and overtime.

Previously, Casey served as an intern and a paralegal in a wide variety of legal areas, including product liability, probate, the SC Department of Health and Environment, and the US District Court for the District of South Carolina.


The South Carolina Lowcountry

The inclusion of B.C. Killough and Ernest B. Lipscomb, III in Charleston brings two legal powerhouses.
