Birmingham
Our office in Birmingham, Alabama, was established in 1870. Although we have grown into a national law firm with clients all around the globe, we have never lost sight of the core values that our founding partners insisted on: ethics, integrity, excellence in our work product, and an unwavering dedication to community service.
The Birmingham office has been home to legal trailblazers from the very start – from founding partner John P. Tillman, who served as the first president of the Birmingham Bar Association in 1885 and served as president of the Alabama Bar Association from 1897-1898, to Ellene Winn, who in 1958 became one of the first female partners in a major law firm in the Southeast.
Our commitment to community service is one of Bradley’s most important values. We currently support more than 100 charitable organizations across central Alabama, including the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and Komen Race for the Cure. In February 2022, Bradley proudly launched the firm’s second pro bono initiative dedicated to supporting Black small businesses and nonprofit organizations. The Black Small Business and Nonprofit Community Clinic, a joint project of Bradley and Legal Services Alabama (LSA), provides accessible and affordable business-oriented legal services to local Black small businesses and nonprofits throughout Birmingham. The Birmingham clinic is modeled after Bradley’s highly successful Black-Owned Small Business and Nonprofit Clinic in Nashville that started in January 2021.
