Prior to joining Hudson Lambert Parrott Walker, Greg was a senior associate at one of South Carolina’s largest law firms in both its Greenville and Columbia offices.

Greg has collaborated with financial and technical experts, engineers, and design professionals in a variety of litigation contexts. Because of this background and his practice at HLPW, Greg has proven adept at learning his clients’ industries and their relevant internal business practices. Such immersion presents new challenges, and Greg’s ability to delve into his client’s world is part of what allows him to provide effective counsel on technically complex construction and contract disputes.
