Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP is pleased to announce that Christopher C. Lam, managing partner of the firm’s Charlotte office, is serving as chair of the 2021 Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy and Legal Aid of North Carolina – Charlotte Access to Justice Campaign.

The Access to Justice Campaign raises critical funds for legal services to low-income residents of Mecklenburg County from members of the Mecklenburg County Bar and community supporters. The organization’s mission is to pursue justice and provide legal representation for those in need of safety, security and stability in areas such as consumer protection, healthcare access, home preservation, immigration, and domestic violence protection. This year’s campaign has a fundraising goal of $500,000.

“We are very proud of Chris and appreciate his ongoing commitment to closing the justice gap in the Charlotte community,” said Bradley Chairman of the Board and Managing Partner Jonathan M. Skeeters. “I have no doubt that Chris’ leadership will produce a very successful 2021 Access to Justice Campaign.”
