Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP is pleased to announce that across all of the firm’s offices in the state, 101 attorneys were listed as 2015 Alabama Super Lawyers or Rising Stars, with 72 of the firm’s attorneys listed as 2015 Alabama Super Lawyers, including four named to the Top 50 list and one selected as among the Top 25 Women. In addition, 29 lawyers at the firm were named to the 2015 Alabama Rising Stars list, which recognizes top up-and-coming attorneys.

“The firm congratulates all of our 2015 Alabama Super Lawyers and Rising Stars,” said Firm Chairman Beau Grenier. “This annual recognition across so many practice areas reflects the depth of our services and the high level of talent that we continue to offer to our clients.”

Each year, only the top 5 percent of lawyers in Alabama are named as Super Lawyers for attaining a significant level of peer recognition and professional achievement, and no more than 2.5 percent of lawyers in the state are selected as Rising Stars, who must be 40 years old or younger or have been in practice for 10 or fewer years. Super Lawyers and Rising Stars are determined through independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations. The Alabama Super Lawyers and Rising Stars will be listed in the May 2015 Alabama Super Lawyers Magazine and Business Alabama magazine.
