About Allyce Bailey

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”- Vince Lombardi A former judicial law clerk, non-profit executive director, and published author, I take my life experiences like working two jobs to put myself through college in only three years and put them to work through effective communication and natural born leadership capabilities to develop strategic plans to execute the objectives of my clients. As an Assistant City Attorney for the City of Columbia and proud public servant in my community, I manage a diverse caseload of litigated matters on behalf of the municipality, counsel the City\'s various departments, and also advise the City Council. Prior to entering public service, I was an associate attorney at a large regional law firm handling liability litigation in the realms of products liability, premises liability, general personal injury defense, construction litigation, medical malpractice, professional negligence, and also handled business and employment matters as the sole handling attorney responsible for filing all necessary pleadings/motions, responding to discovery, conducting depositions, participating in mediation, and representing clients at trial as first chair.*Collaborative Bar Leadership Academy Class of 2018 *SC Bar Leadership Academy Class of 2018 *Leadership South Carolina Class of 2019 #Litigation #EmploymentLaw #LiabilityLitigation #BusinessLitigation #BusinessTransactions #LitigationManagement #LawyerLeader #PublicService #PublicServant
