Gibbs & Holmes PC

Gibbs & Holmes is Charleston's oldest established law firm dedicated to practicing in all aspects of labor and employment law. Founded almost 40 years ago in 1983, its principal attorneys were Coming Ball Gibbs, Jr. and Allan R. Holmes. Attorneys Gibbs and Holmes left partnerships in other Charleston firms during the period in which the focus of labor law moved from organizational and strike-related issues to employment law claims of discrimination, wrongful termination and other claims tried before federal and state courts. The significant trial experience of Attorneys Gibbs and Holmes contributed to their accession to the forefront in employment litigation in South Carolina. Their desire to provide the full spectrum of services to Charleston area employers also resulted in the development of their practice in other areas to meet these needs, such as advising management on human resource issues, negotiating employment contracts and drafting employment policies.
