William Robert "Rob" Gignilliat IV

A decisive and knowledgeable advocate in a complex employment dispute

Our company faced a challenging wage and hour class action claim that threatened significant financial and reputational damage. We engaged Rob Gignilliat at Jackson Lewis, and his guidance from the outset was invaluable. While his three years of focused practice in South Carolina labor and employment law might seem brief to some, his command of the nuanced statutes and his strategic foresight were immediately apparent. He meticulously dissected the plaintiff's claims, developed a robust defense strategy rooted in clear compliance documentation, and communicated complex legal concepts to our management team with remarkable clarity. His background from the University of Georgia and the recognition he's already received in management-side employment law were evident in his precise and confident approach. Rob’s professionalism under pressure and his dedication to achieving a favorable resolution were exceptional. He successfully navigated the pre-trial negotiations, resulting in a settlement that was far more favorable than we had anticipated, effectively protecting our business. We are profoundly grateful for his exceptional service and highly recommend him to any South Carolina employer needing astute legal counsel.
