Kirsten Small Joins Nexsen Pruet's Appellate Practice Group

Greenville, SC — Kirsten E. Small, who served as senior law clerk for the Honorable William W. Wilkins, Chief Judge of the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, has joined Nexsen Pruet’s Greenville office and will help to expand the firm’s appellate practice in state and federal courts.

Small served with Judge Wilkins in 1994-1995 before assuming the senior clerk position, which she has held since 1996. She also clerked with Fourth Circuit Judge Karen Williams for a year. Her experience touches on a number of areas, including commercial litigation, labor and employment, and alternative dispute resolution.

“Kirsten has a terrific understanding of the appellate process,” said board member, David Gossett, of Nexsen Pruet’s Greenville office. “She’s seen it from the inside, and knows how to prepare, handle, and argue an appeal.”

Small earned her undergraduate degree from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, and her law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C.
