COLUMBIA, SC (November 19, 2025) – Wyche, a leading full-service law firm with offices across South Carolina, announces that Brandon Stone, a former federal prosecutor and partner at a leading international law firm, has joined the firm as a Member in its litigation practice. Stone will be based in Wyche’s Columbia office and will focus his practice on complex litigation, government investigations, and white-collar criminal defense.
“Brandon brings a rare combination of legal talent, investigative experience, and leadership under pressure,” said Tally Parham Casey, CEO and Chair of Wyche’s Executive Committee. “His background as a federal prosecutor, coupled with his work on complex, high-stakes litigation matters, will be a tremendous asset to our clients facing government scrutiny or significant litigation exposure.
