July 31, 2024
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, a full-service national law firm with offices from coast to coast, is pleased to welcome Sheria Clarke to its growing litigation team in Greenville, South Carolina. Clarke, who previously worked at the firm, returns after three years at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). She joins the firm’s diverse Greenville Litigation team.
“Sheria is a recognized and respected litigator, and we are thrilled to welcome her back to the firm,” said Nelson Mullins partner Sam Outten, leader of the firm’s Greenville Litigation team. “Her unique background and experience as a federal prosecutor will add tremendous value to our team.”
Clarke returns to Nelson Mullins as of counsel after most recently working as a federal prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney’s Office where she handled False Claims Act litigation, whistleblower investigations, as well as a variety of criminal and civil matters. Clarke worked for nearly a decade in the U.S. House of Representatives where she served in several key positions, including as Staff Director for the Committee on Oversight and Government and Majority Counsel for the House Committee on Ethics.
“I am excited to rejoin Nelson Mullins where my unique experiences in government and private practice creates a foundation to provide comprehensive counsel to clients,” said Clarke.
Earlier this year, the firm welcomed of counsel Laura McDonald and senior associate Megan Rushton to the Greenville Litigation team in January and February, respectively.
