Emily Perkins Joins Nexsen Pruet's Business Litigation Practice

Greenville, SC — Emily I. Perkins has joined the Greenville office of Nexsen Pruet as an associate and will concentrate her practice on business litigation.

Perkins is an experienced litigator whose background spans multiple sectors. Before joining Nexsen Pruet, she worked with Washington, D.C.-based Arnold & Porter, where her focus was antitrust litigation; Stroock & Stroock & Lavan L.L.P. in Los Angeles, working in energy litigation; and Williams Mullen, in their Tyson’s Corner office, where her practice included commercial litigation and business law.

“Emily has gained a lot of skills in a number of highly complex areas,” said board member David Gossett of Nexsen Pruet’s Greenville office. “She’s handled state and federal cases and appeared before administrative bodies, and has worked in areas beyond energy and antitrust such as patent infringement, land-use, real estate, and discrimination. Those capabilities are going to make a deep Litigation team even deeper.”

Perkins earned her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and her law degree from the George Mason University School of Law in Arlington, Va.
