Buxton & Collie is proud to share that founding partner Jim Buxton was recently featured in SC Biz Magazine’s article “Navigating Risk and Innovation in a Changing Legal Landscape.”
The piece highlights how law firms across South Carolina are responding to rapid changes in technology, particularly the growing role of artificial intelligence in the legal profession. Jim was one of only four attorneys interviewed for the feature, discussing both the opportunities and challenges AI presents for law firms and business clients alike.
In the article, Jim spoke about the importance of embracing and understanding emerging technology rather than ignoring it:
“Attorneys face a choice: ignore the technology shift at your own peril or go all-in on retraining your skill set.”
He also discussed how Buxton & Collie approaches AI internally, emphasizing the firm’s commitment to training and staying ahead of industry changes so attorneys and staff can thoughtfully evaluate and use new tools responsibly.
The feature also explored the state of mergers and acquisitions activity heading into 2026, where Jim shared insight on private equity investment, tax planning certainty, and the broader economic factors shaping deal activity across the legal and business sectors.
Being included in this conversation alongside other respected legal professionals across the state is a meaningful recognition for our team. We are honored to contribute to ongoing discussions about innovation, business law, and the future of the legal industry in South Carolina and beyond.
