A strong sense of loyalty runs in family of Charleston lawyer
Like the name James and a love for Clemson University sports, loyalty and job longevity can be seen to run in attorney James “Chip” Bruorton, IV’s family.
Bruorton’s grandfather, James Atkinson Bruorton, Jr., worked for Nabisco for 42 years. His father, James Atkinson Bruorton III, was a sales rep for Union Carbide, now Kemet Electronics, for 40 years. And Bruorton himself has to this point spent his entire 20-year career at Rosen Hagood, the law firm he joined right out of law school in 2003.
“I guess we have a habit of having loyalty to our employers,” says Bruorton with a smile. “Loyalty is a trait my father passed down to me.”
Bruorton, who was born and raised in Greenville, S.C., except for a short two-year stint the family spent in Texas, has gone by “Chip” since he was born – as in “a chip off the old block.”
“There’s a large part of me that is a reflection of [my father],” says Bruorton. “I try to emulate a lot of what he did when I was growing up in how I am with my family. He’s still a good influence on my life.”

AI could be in glorious position to write its own success stories
