Phillip Ferderigos [ member ]
Immediately after graduating summa cum laude from the College of Charleston, Phillip Ferderigos rode his bicycle from San Francisco to Washington DC for charity. Then he started law school at the University of South Carolina. "Driven," anyone?
Phillip concentrates his practice in the areas of workers’ compensation, construction litigation, civil litigation, insurance defense, personal injury, products liability, professional negligence and toxic torts.
As an undergraduate, he was a Harrison Randolph Scholar, a Top Honor Graduate, a member of the Honors Program (outstanding student & department honors) and winner of the Alumni Junior Medal. While in law school, Ferderigos was a Merit Scholar, a member of the Order of the Coif, and the Society of the Wig and Robe. He was also a member of the South Carolina Law Review and served on the South Carolina Moot Court Bar where he represented the University of South Carolina in the 1997 Wagner Labor Law Moot Court competition.
Prior to entering private practice, he served as an intern with the Honorable Robert S. Carr, Federal Magistrate Judge for South Carolina. Most recently, Ferderigos served as an adjunct professor at the Charleston School of Law, where he taught legal writing and research.
A native of Charleston, Phillip grew up in the restaurant business where he learned the ends and outs of running a business and dealing with people in a professional setting. Seeing his parents strive and succeed in their business fomented an entrepreneurial spirit in Phillip that has led him into several restaurant and franchise projects, residential and commercial real estate ventures, and telecommunications investments. Ferderigos is active in his church and also serves as Court Appointed Counsel and Guardian Ad Litem for children and adults through the Pro Bono South Carolina DSS Programs.
