WHO WE ARE
The Jeffcoat Firm cares about continually enhancing our Employee Benefits Program, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts, providing excellent legal services, and investing in the community we are a part of. From the very beginning, and throughout every phase, The Jeffcoat Firm has prioritized taking care of our clients and our team. We are determined to be the best law firm and employer out there. We always get better, work hard, refuse to allow roadblocks to get in our way, and are committed to our past, current, and future clients.
We value all backgrounds and experiences and take pride in our being an Equal Opportunity employer. Our employees come from different professional networks, and we do not discriminate on race, age, disability status, veteran status, sexual orientation, religion, or any other part of an individual’s identity. We know that diversity makes us better and choose to embrace and prioritize its impact. We want all our conversations to include voices from different fields of thought, different perspectives, and different opinions.
We provide supportive leadership, expect accountability and transparency, and focus on outreach. Our Firm believes in being a tenant of the community and paying all successes forward. We offer a Volunteering Time Off program for all full-time employees, encouraging each to invest in philanthropic efforts that matter to them. The Jeffcoat Gives Back program supports firm wide initiatives to give back to our neighbors. We know South Carolina. We are Carolinians. We give back because this is our home.
We root ourselves in our core values and mission each day and hire empathetic, passionate individuals to drive us to our goals. Words can never fully capture a company’s goals or mission, but these are a start:
We believe that our team is stronger together than any single member would be independently.
Our hiring decisions are about where The Jeffcoat Firm has been, is today, and where and who the Firm will be in the future.
We do not take that or any responsibility lightly.
WE’RE GOING PLACES. COME JOIN US.
We’re one of South Carolina’s foremost and fastest-growing injury law firms, with our main office centrally located in the heart of Columbia’s exciting Main Street District. Columbia is a vibrant and growing capitol city which draws on the energy of South Carolina’s flagship university and is located within a short drive to both the foothills of the mountains and beautiful South Carolina beaches.
Our Firm is going places. We’re searching for more team members to help us meet the demands of our growing firm so we can take care of our clients.
We function in a collaborative team environment where we pull together to work on the mission of our firm: To provide top notch legal services and unparalleled client service. We are looking for ambitious and competitive individuals that are driven to succeed. Our team is driven to find success for our clients, coworkers and by doing so, themselves.
We serve injured PEOPLE that without our help could be easily taken advantage of. We fight to get them the compensation they deserve and get their life back. We also fight to protect people’s rights when they find themselves in a criminal legal situation. We represent people not corporations!
