Legal Question in Business Law in South Carolina

Your corporation needs a lawyer. While a natural person can represent themselves in court, a corporation can only act by virtue of the acts of others. The only "other" who can represent someone other than themselves in court is an attorney licensed in the state in which the court sits.

If you or another officer of the corp who is not a lawyer try to represent your corporation in court, that's unauthorized practice of law, which is punishable by the court.

Hire the lawyer.
