June 29, 2009 — Turner Padget Graham & Laney, P.A. is
pleased to announce that it has been selected by The
National Law Journal as one of 20 law firms included in “The
Midsize Hot List.” Turner Padget is the only South
Carolina-based firm to be honored, and one of only a handful
of firms from the Southeast included on the list, which was
published in The National Law Journal’s print and online
editions today.
“We are particularly pleased to earn this national
recognition that highlights our ability to anticipate and
continually stay in front of our clients’ needs,” said
Edward W. Laney IV, chief executive officer of Turner
Padget. “We have a deep understanding of what it means to do
business in South Carolina, and our lawyers know what it
takes to be successful here. That capability translates
itself into alternative fee arrangements, efficient case
management and a wide range of service offerings.”
“The Midsize Hot List” is an inaugural feature in The
National Law Journal, and highlights law firms from around
the country with 50 to 300 attorneys that have demonstrated
creative, innovative strategies to stay competitive,
particularly during a recession. Criteria considered in the
selection process include the ways these firms recruit legal
talent, train associates, bill clients, develop practice
areas, and structure management.
The National Law Journal was impressed with Turner
Padget’s commitment to its associate-level attorneys. “It
gives first-year associates hands-on experience in handling
cases from their first day,” the publication notes. “In
Turner Padget’s litigation practice, all of the partners and
27 of the firm’s 32 associates have first-chair trial
experience.”
The firm recently reorganized its governance structure,
allowing for a more cohesive approach to management.
“Ultimately, this shift provides us with the opportunity to
enhance client service, attract and retain top lawyers, and
improve our day-to-day operations,” said Laney.
