Nina Fields Britt is a RPWB member who focuses on complex legal matters to combat unfair and illegal business practices throughout the United States. Her primary areas of litigation include class action lawsuits on behalf of consumers, insureds, and small businesses as well as complex litigation on behalf of businesses and individuals. She also currently serves as RPWB’s managing attorney.
Her work on behalf of consumers harmed by illegal and unscrupulous corporate conduct brings justice to her clients and is as a deterrent to widespread corporate wrongdoing. She enjoys the intellectual challenge of analyzing and arguing complicated legal matters that have real-world implications for millions of Americans.
Born and raised in Seneca, S.C., Nina’s father was a small town lawyer who also served as mayor and other elected and appointed positions. Seeing the positive impact her father had on their community had a profound influence on Nina and led her to pursue a career in law. She graduated cum laude from the College of Charleston and then finished near the top of her class at the University of South Carolina School of Law.
Following law school, Nina clerked for the Honorable G. Ross Anderson, Jr., United States District Judge for the District of South Carolina, before joining Ness, Motley, Loadholt, Richardson & Poole, where she worked on Michael Brickman’s litigation team. In 2002, she joined Richardson, Patrick, Westbrook & Brickman (now Rogers, Patrick, Westbrook & Brickman, LLC).
Nina lives in downtown Charleston with her son, James. She enjoys travel with friends and family, being involved in her son’s school in downtown Charleston, and needlepointing. She hopes that she soon will be able to take up her favorite hobby–horseback riding–again. Following in her father’s footsteps as a devoted Gamecock, she has served on the University of South Carolina’s Board of Visitors since 2018.
