About Leadership Firms
The Alameda County Bar Association is proud of the relationships it has built with law firms throughout the county. Working together, we have the opportunity to enhance the practice of law and the administration of justice in Alameda County. ACBA Leadership Firms is a program that recognizes and rewards those law firms of ten or more attorneys that have 100% membership in the ACBA (i.e., every one of the firm’s Alameda County attorneys is a member of the ACBA).
About Sustaining Members
Sustaining Members pledge support of the ACBA each year by being members of the organization, and acting as Ambassadors of the association. Ambassadors are actively engaged members that promote ACBA programs, services and, the overall mission of the association – to promote excellence in the profession and increase access to justice. Many Ambassadors have served in leadership roles in the association, courts, and legal services community.
