Bradley Arant Boult Cummings Volunteers Resources to Assist Those Affected by Recent Flooding
NASHVILLE, Tenn.(May 4, 2010) – Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP has volunteered its resources to those affected by last weekend’s devastating flooding.
“Having established that, thankfully, all of our employees are safe, though some have suffered damage to their homes and property, we have now turned our attention to helping others in the community who were not so fortunate,” said Robert E. Wood, managing partner of the firm’s Nashville office. “Our offices were not damaged by the flooding, and so we are opening them to our clients and other law firms that were affected. We hope, in this small way, to aid our fellow members of the business community as they begin to rebuild.”
Added Wood, “This is a time for everyone to pull together for the greater good. We are organizing an outreach to our extended family of personnel, friends and clients. As lawyers, we have a duty to the broader community in which we do business, and must do our part to ensure everyone receives help in this difficult time.”
Bradley Arant Boult Cummings has also made a $25,000 donation to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee's Flood Relief fund and welcomes anyone interested in assisting the victims of the flood to join in its efforts.
