We are saddened to report that ALI Member Julian Nexsen passed away Wednesday in Columbia after a long illness. He was 91. While in practice, Mr. Nexsen helped guide the law firm Nexsen Pruet from a four-lawyer office to a regional powerhouse.
“Mr. Nexsen was a model of dignity,” said John Sowards, the firm’s board chairman, said in a news release. “His passion for professionalism and his commitment to principle shaped the lives of attorneys both inside and outside this firm. He was a gentleman of great achievement, and his contributions to the firm, the community, and the practice of law will be fondly remembered and sorely missed. We are proud to carry his name.”
