Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP is pleased to announce its recognition as a 2015 Nashville Bar Association (NBA) Diversity Committee Leadership Award recipient. This marks the 10th consecutive year that the firm has received the award for demonstrating “a continued commitment to enhancing diversity and access to professional success.” Awards were formally presented at the NBA’s annual Law Day event on May 1.

“We are proud to stand alongside our colleagues at the Nashville Bar Association in support of diversity initiatives and awareness. It is an honor to again be recognized for our ongoing commitment to these issues, which are critical within our industry and the business community at large,” said Bob Patterson, managing partner of the firm’s Nashville office.

The NBA’s Diversity Committee Leadership Awards were established in 1994. Award recipients are evaluated on the ethnic diversity of their recruitment and hiring efforts, retention and growth rates, and summer associate and internship programs, as well as other programs that promote diversity within the law profession, such as endowments and scholarships.

The firm commits significant time and resources to increasing the diversity of its workforce through many activities and programs, including diversity scholarship awards and internships for aspiring attorneys from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession. The firm also sponsors and hosts programs, seminars, and panels aimed at increasing the participation of women and minorities in the legal profession.
