Rogers Townsend

What Rogers Townsend does

Rogers Townsend, LLC is a privately-held regional law firm headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, with four additional offices in Charleston, Greenville, and Beaufort (South Carolina) and Charlotte (North Carolina). The firm operates across seven integrated practice areas: Mortgage Banking and Creditor Services, Litigation (construction defect, products liability, trucking, insurance coverage, environmental), Community Associations, Corporate Transactions, Real Estate, Health Care, and Construction law. Its client base spans financial institutions and mortgage servicers, hospitals and healthcare providers, insurance carriers, construction contractors and product manufacturers, commercial and residential real estate developers, and homeowners and condominium associations throughout the Carolinas, with select matters handled across 26 states.

The firm generates revenue through traditional engagement-based legal services, primarily hourly billing across litigation, transactions, regulatory advisory, and high-volume default services work. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, built on individual attorney reputations, peer-review recognition (Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA, Martindale-Hubbell AV ratings), industry-association participation in the Defense Research Institute, and content marketing through its Construction Law Blog, Insights, and Carolina Community Associations publications. The Default Services department is a scale anchor, processing 60+ eviction matters per month with a 45-day average completion and 26+ years of foreclosure representation experience, with senior partners such as Bryan Barnes having litigated 400+ products-liability cases across 26 states as national counsel.

Operationally, the firm runs as a traditional professional services organization with five physical offices, multi-department leadership (Litigation, Default Services, Business Banking, Healthcare, Community Associations, Construction), and an Executive Committee governance structure. Leadership additions in 2025 (David Bornemann to litigation, Chilton Grace Simmons to healthcare, Francis Ervin II named Member, Catherine Leatherwood appointed DRI Cares Chair) point to ongoing bench-building. As Rogers Townsend, LLC, the firm is not publicly traded and does not disclose financial information; pricing is negotiated per engagement and not publicly listed.
