Leake Andersson Joins Southeastern Freight Lines in Celebrating 75 Years of Quality Without Question 

Leake Andersson Partner Lou Bonnaffons attended the Southeastern Freight Lines Attorney Symposium on September 15–16, 2026 in Columbia, South Carolina. There, he joined members of the company’s legal team and outside counsel for two days of discussion, collaboration, and connection. 

The symposium provided an opportunity for attorneys working with Southeastern Freight Lines to step beyond the day-to-day demands of individual matters and discuss the broader legal and business issues affecting the company and the transportation industry. Bringing in-house and outside counsel together also creates an opportunity to share perspectives, strengthen working relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of the priorities of the business. 

For Leake Andersson, that kind of collaboration is an important part of serving clients in the transportation industry. Understanding a client’s operations, business objectives, and approach to risk helps outside counsel provide advice that considers the bigger picture, not simply the matter immediately at hand. 

“Opportunities like this allow us to spend meaningful time with the people we work alongside and have broader conversations about the issues affecting their business,” Bonnaffons said. “We’re grateful to Southeastern Freight Lines for bringing its legal team and outside counsel together and for including us in this year’s symposium.” 

Celebrating 75 Years of “Quality Without Question” 

The gathering also comes as Southeastern Freight Lines celebrates more than 75 years in business. Founded in Columbia in 1950 with 20 associates and a single service center, Southeastern has grown into a leading provider of regional less-than-truckload transportation services. Throughout that growth, Southeastern has maintained its commitment to its longstanding motto, “Quality Without Question,” and to meeting or exceeding the needs of its customers. 

Leake Andersson congratulates Southeastern Freight Lines on this milestone and appreciates the opportunity to be part of this year’s Attorney Symposium.
