About Us

Your FIRM

At Bass, Berry & Sims we are making a name for ourselves as one of the nation’s premier firms. We represent more than 30 publicly traded and Fortune 500 companies and have been involved in some of the largest and most important business and litigation matters in the country. From coast to coast, mega-firms turn to us for high-stakes matters and consider Bass, Berry & Sims their blue-chip partner.

One-on-one relationships are at the heart of our client interaction, yet we maintain a cohesiveness and sense of community inside our walls that encourage a team approach.

Your BUSINESS

Bass, Berry & Sims focuses on the legal aspects of business needs, which encourages us to be creative in our search for the right solution. We distinguish ourselves by delivering consistently superior service and advice that is always client-centered. It is part of a philosophy that is committed to excellence. Perhaps that is why when we represent a client, traditionally the client not only comes back, but the relationship also expands.

Your WORLD

Business no longer operates strictly within national borders. It is crucial to know the customs, cultures, politics and languages of the countries where our clients do business. We have developed relationships around the world to help us better understand the ins and outs of international business and legal matters.

Working with us provides you access to more than 300 law firms and more than 30,000 attorneys through networks such as the State Capital Group, the Southern Law Network, Lex Mundi and The Network of Trial Law Firms. These four associations of independent law firms are located in principal business centers in the United States and major foreign markets. All member firms are selected for the significance of their practices and reputations in their legal community. Member firms of these organizations practice independently and not in a relationship for the joint practice of law.

Your COMMUNITY

Our firm is a good corporate citizen and our people are service-minded and eager to give back to our communities and the profession. Our attorneys embrace the opportunity to provide free legal services to those who cannot afford it, to nonprofit organizations and to other community groups.

Your REFLECTION

Our commitment to diversity is both broad and deep. Women comprise 29 percent of our attorney workforce and in just two years we have increased the number of our minority attorneys by 87 percent. Our Diversity Committee is very active and includes our managing partner and hiring partners, who have authority to implement our plan.

Leadership roles extend to many of our women and minority attorneys. We are committed to promoting women and minority attorneys to partner level, increasing the number of women and minority attorneys in leadership positions, and helping to train and mentor a diverse professional workforce.

Your SUCCESS

In short, it’s not enough to know the law. We have to know our clients’ businesses and believe in what they do.

Every task we undertake for our clients, every effort we expend, has only one goal: your success. That’s why we provide client service beyond the industry standard, create a well-rounded team to work on your behalf, and use a worldwide network of resources.
