CHARLESTON, S.C., October 23, 2025 — Charleston Regional Business Journal has named Bijan K. Ghom, senior counsel at Saxton & Stump, to its annual “Forty Under 40” list. The list celebrates rising business professionals and future leaders across the Lowcountry.
“It’s an honor to be recognized alongside so many professionals dedicated to their craft but also Charleston’s future,” Ghom said. “Even though Charleston is a smaller city, there is so much talent here that there is endless opportunity. I am so proud to be part of this community and its exciting future.”
At Saxton & Stump, Ghom counsels businesses through every stage of their life cycle. He is a part of the law firm’s Business and Corporate, Commercial Litigation, Intellectual Property, Intellectual Property Litigation, Trusts and Estates, Labor and Employment, and Litigation groups.
Before entering law school, Ghom launched several technology companies, including a patented fantasy sports application and a cryptocurrency platform that he later sold. With an M.B.A. and background as a former business owner, he pairs legal skill with business insight to deliver strategic and practical solutions for his clients.
Ghom is also a strategist with Palq IP, a Saxton & Stump affiliate that helps small and mid-sized companies, entrepreneurs, inventors, and creators build and monetize their intellectual property portfolios to drive growth and profitability.
Ghom performs pro bono work, and he frequently serves as a mock trial judge at his law school alma mater, Charleston School of Law.
Best Lawyers in America® has named Ghom to its “Ones to Watch” list from 2021 to 2026, and South Carolina Super Lawyers has included him on its “Rising Stars” list from 2022 to 2025.
In addition to earning his law degree at the Charleston School of Law, he earned his M.B.A. at the College of Charleston and his undergraduate degree at the University of South Carolina.
