Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• The Cochran Firm: Nationally recognized personal injury firm with multiple offices handling catastrophic injury, mass tort, and wrongful death cases. Comparable in PI focus and contingency model, but operating as a multi-office broad incumbent with national brand and mass tort pipelines.
• Morgan & Morgan: Largest personal injury firm in the US operating across many states with heavy advertising spend and broad PI practice areas. Comparable as a direct contingency-fee PI competitor, but with national scale, multi-state presence, and far larger marketing budget that affects market share dynamics for regional firms like McKnight.

Direct peers

• Joye Law Firm: SC personal injury firm with offices in Charleston, North Charleston, Columbia, and other SC cities. Directly comparable in targeting injured individuals across auto/trucking/premises liability practice areas, with free consultations and contingency fees.
• Thompson & Henry Law Firm: Charleston-area personal injury and wrongful death practice representing injury victims across South Carolina. Closely comparable to McKnight in scope (auto/trucking/wrongful death), contingency-fee model, and regional Charleston client base.
• Switchen Beasley Law Firm: Charleston-based personal injury firm handling auto accidents, trucking, premises liability, and wrongful death. Direct competitor in the same Charleston regional market targeting injured individuals on a contingency basis.
• Peake Law Firm: South Carolina personal injury firm with a Charleston-area presence handling auto, trucking, and wrongful death cases on contingency. Direct competitor for similar clients across the same regional geography.
• Steinberg Law Firm: South Carolina-based personal injury law firm serving clients across the state from offices in Charleston and elsewhere. Directly comparable to McKnight in geography (SC), practice focus (serious injury and wrongful death), and contingency-fee engagement model.
• Nimmons Malouf Law Firm: Personal injury and mass tort firm with a long-standing SC presence and offices including Charleston. Comparable as a contingency-fee PI practice handling serious injury, wrongful death, and complex litigation matters for South Carolina clients.
