About Us 

The Jeffcoat Firm is a respected South Carolina personal injury firm with a reputation for results, heart, and hustle. Our team of attorneys has recovered nearly $100 million for clients across the state — from Columbia and Greenville to Charleston and Myrtle Beach. But numbers only tell part of the story. 

What sets us apart is how we get there: with humility, grit, and relentless advocacy for real people. Whether we’re in the courtroom or the conference room, we treat every case — and every client — like they matter. Because they do. 

We reject ego. We embrace growth. We make no excuses — and expect the same from every team member. 

Now, as we scale to meet increasing demand, we’re looking for a seasoned Supervising Attorney to bring structure, accountability, and strategic leadership to our personal injury division. 

What you’ll be doing:

Lead a High-Performing Legal Team 

• Oversee a team of 8+ personal injury attorneys across pre-litigation and litigation. 
• Set and uphold clear legal standards — ensuring consistency, quality, and ethical excellence. 
• Provide tactical feedback, mentorship, and real-time coaching to attorneys at all levels. 

Drive Operational Excellence 

• Own team performance metrics — including case velocity, revenue goals, and litigation success rates. 
• Identify bottlenecks and resolve them before they impact client outcomes. 
• Partner with firm leadership on workflow, staffing, and systemic improvements. 
• Support hiring, onboarding, and development of legal talent. 

Step In Strategically 

• Lead complex or high-impact cases as needed, from strategy through settlement or trial. 
• Review legal work product, discovery plans, pleadings, motions, and expert strategy. 
• Ensure communication standards are upheld across all client touchpoints. 

Mentor and Develop 

• Provide thoughtful leadership and development for newly licensed and mid-level attorneys. 
• Support our law student programs through mentorship and oversight. 

Model the Culture 

• Lead with integrity, transparency, and urgency — and expect the same from your team. 
• Be a cultural touchstone: direct, fair, client-focused, and outcome-driven. 

What you bring: 

Experience 

• Active South Carolina Bar license in good standing (required). 
• 5–7+ years of plaintiff-side personal injury experience, including litigation. 
• 1+ years in a supervisory or management role. 
• Experience mentoring attorneys, managing teams, and navigating both high-volume and high-complexity cases. 
• Comfort with modern legal tech: Filevine, Salesforce, and AI-enhanced tools a plus. 

Traits We Admire 

• Relentless accountability. You follow through. You expect results. 
• Strategic thinking. You see patterns, fix problems, and move fast. 
• Confident communication. You don’t shy away from hard conversations — and you know how to have them constructively. 
• Growth mindset. You lead with curiosity, adapt quickly, and welcome innovation. 
• Team-first. You check your ego, elevate others, and collaborate well. 
• High expectations. You believe excellence is a habit — not an act. 

Why you'll love it here:

• Leadership Opportunity — Take ownership of a growing legal department in a firm that values your input. 
• Firm with a Mission — Help real people rebuild their lives with fierce advocacy and honest counsel. 
• Cultural Fit That Feels Right — No drama. No fluff. Just a team of professionals who care, push each other, and win together. 
• Forward-Thinking Operations — From AI to analytics, we’re leveraging modern tools to stay in the lead. 

Benefits & Perks 

• Competitive salary + performance-based bonuses 
• Comprehensive Benefits: Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage. Take advantage of parental leave & a 401k plan with an employer contribution.
