Jeff Payne, 61, is a shareholder at Turner Padget Graham & Laney, P.A. in Florence, South Carolina. In a new Q&A up now on Law.com, he talks about his rise to firm leadership and his new perspective. Here are one of the questions and answers from the interview: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲, 𝗱𝗮𝘆-𝘁𝗼-𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺? "You must set aside time each day to address pending issues. It’s easy to get caught in a game of phone tag, so I block time each day for conversations with our attorneys and staff to address personnel and other questions that contribute to our effectiveness." https://lnkd.in/gt6X9Zue

Well, everyone has seen that 2025 Best Lawyers is out. I've seen posts ranging from the "I'm honored, humbled, grateful, [insert all the grateful-sounding words here], etc. . . . " to "don't worry if you didn't make the list; these lists don't mean anything." If you weren't nominated, know that you have value!! How you work with people, your work product, and your client service is more important than being on a list. Also, funny story about these lists . . . I have been recognized as One to Watch for construction, corporate, and tax law. Corporate and tax law make sense, but at some point in my career, at least one of my peers nominated me for construction law. Here's the thing: I do NOT practice construction law. I've worked on deals in the construction space, but I'm not a construction lawyer. Nevertheless, thank you to my peers and colleagues who have nominated me over the years!! May we celebrate and be thankful but continue to focus on providing excellent client service and work product.
