Spain & Gillon is a full service law firm. Whether it’s helping to form a family business or defending a mass tort class action, our clients rely on us to handle a wide variety of transactional and litigation matters.

We are in the relationship business. There's a reason we’ve enjoyed long-term associations with many of our clients over the last 100 years: We don't take these relationships for granted.
We know our clients and we understand their businesses. Because we are intimately familiar with our clients’ operations and their goals, we can better evaluate the risks they face and the opportunities available to them.
We are dedicated to helping our community. As a Firm and as individuals, we are involved in a wide variety of community organizations that have significantly contributed to Birmingham’s progress.
We recognize that great law firms are made up of great lawyers, but the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Our clients not only benefit from the expertise of our individual attorneys, but from the collective capabilities of a full service law firm.
