About

Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP operates a well-established office in Myrtle Beach, serving the Grand Strand region and surrounding areas of coastal South Carolina. The firm's presence in Myrtle Beach began in 2006, when Nelson Mullins opened its first office outside Columbia, initially to serve an anchor client but quickly expanding to become a diverse, integral part of the community.

Located at Pinnacle Corporate Center, the Myrtle Beach office represents the firm's commitment to sustainable growth and environmental responsibility. When constructing its facility, Nelson Mullins incorporated green building technology throughout, reflecting sensitivity to the area's fragile coastal ecosystem. The office sits in a region that Forbes magazine recognized in 2019 as one of the top 100 best places for business and careers in the country.

The Myrtle Beach team serves many of the area's key economic sectors, including tourism, real estate, healthcare, construction, insurance, environmental law, and commercial transactions. Attorneys here have been instrumental in representing growing companies and advising on major business and infrastructure development projects that have shaped the coastal community's expansion.

Nelson Mullins' practice depth is reflected in the recognition of its attorneys by leading industry publications. James F. McCrackin, a partner at the Myrtle Beach office, has been named to Legal Elite in estate and trust litigation by Integrated Media Publishing. More broadly, the firm has seen significant recognition through Best Lawyers, with 457 Nelson Mullins attorneys nationwide honored in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America across multiple practice areas and geographic regions. This peer-reviewed recognition, based on a methodology in place for over 40 years, reflects the professional esteem in which the firm's attorneys are held within their respective practice areas.

The office maintains a professional yet close-knit culture despite being part of a larger regional practice. Team members contribute not only to client work but also to community service and pro bono engagement. Members of the practice have undertaken meaningful volunteer work, including assisting families navigating guardianship and conservatorship matters for children with disabilities—work that underscores the firm's commitment to serving the broader coastal community beyond traditional commercial practice.
