Am Law 200 law firm Bradley Arant Boult Cummings has launched in Georgia, recruiting more than 20 lateral attorneys, some of whom were leaders in their prior firms or had been with their previous firms for decades.

Bradley Arant, a Birmingham-founded firm ranked No. 107 in last year’s Am Law 200, quietly opened the Atlanta office in late April with several practice areas, putting down roots at the Promenade Tower at 1230 Peachtree St. N.E. The 620-lawyer firm said it is opening with more than 20 lawyers, including 13 founding partners, who moved from several Atlanta offices of local and national firms.
