Forsyth County Business Lawyers Association
The Forsyth County Business Lawyers Association (BLA) is a newly formed affinity bar association for lawyers in Forsyth County who serve business clients. Founded in 2018 by corporate attorneys, Meghan Maguire and Reggie Mathis, BLA is committed to connecting business lawyers from a variety of legal settings, including but not limited to:
- Private practice
- In-house
- Government
- Trade association
- Think tank
- Academia
BLA’s mission is to foster professional relationships among the diverse group of business lawyers in our community, through networking events and programs, education, and community outreach. We will explore topics common across local business and governmental sectors, and establish connections that will enable attorneys to work together to find innovative solutions for business clients.
In the past, we have hosted an ethics CLE program in conjunction with the Forsyth County Bar Association for one-hour credit, co-sponsored a meet and greet event with the NC Bar Association’s Business Section, and hosted local networking and social gatherings. While national associations provide similar opportunities, BLA recognizes the value in developing a local network, right here at home in Forsyth County. This is an exciting, new opportunity for lawyers to make new connections and find local resources to service their business clients’ needs.
