In a firm as large and fundamentally diverse as Adams and Reese, coming together for the benefit of others is an opportunity for us to interact in ways that might not exist in the regular course of business. Our employees and attorneys have a sense of community spirit that keeps the program alive and, although the faces may change over the years, the fundamental commitment to volunteerism has become a characteristic of our firm's personality. HUGSIn 1988, Adams and Reese embarked upon a course of unprecedented community involvement. One of our partners, Mark Surprenant, founded HUGS (Hope, Understanding, Giving, and Support), the firm's employee volunteer program. One of the most extraordinary benefits of working at Adams and Reese is the opportunity to participate in HUGS. Since its inception, the firm has devoted thousands of hours and untold dollars to offer our communities "hands on" activities and assistance to those less fortunate. This participation is not related to business or the law but is directed squarely to the human need. Whether in the form of special events or participation in agency-sponsored fundraisers, our employees are known throughout the region and the nation for their community action. Adams and Reese is a proud recipient of the "Excellence in Corporate Volunteerism" Award by the Points of Light Foundation - for many years, the only law firm nationwide so honored.
