Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP is a Birmingham-based law firm with offices in Charlotte, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; Washington D.C.; Nashville, Tennessee and Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama. The headquarters office is located at One Federal Place.

The firm traces its history to the partnership of John Morrow and Goldsmith Hewitt II, which was first formed in 1858, but dissolved when Morrow was elected probate judge and remained idle during Hewitt's service in the Confederate army in the Civil War. After the war, Hewitt returned to the practice of law and, in 1870, entered into partnership with William Walker, Jr.

The firm became Hewitt, Walker & Porter with the addition of Mitchell Porter in 1884. John Tillman became a partner in Walker, Tillman & Campbell in 1898, which became Walker, Tillman, Campbell & Morrow with the addition of Hugh Morrow in 1903 and Tillman, Grubb, Bradley & Morrow in 1904. After William Grubb left in 1909, the firm added Lee Bradley and did business as Tillman, Bradley & Morrow until 1919, when it became Tillman, Bradley & Baldwin. From 1924 to 1945 the firm was known as Bradley, Baldwin, All & White, recognizing William White and Ernest All as partners. Douglas Arant, who had joined the firm in 1923 and became a partner in 1927 was added to the firm's name in 1945, rendering it White, Bradley, Arant & All. The addition of William Rose expanded the nameplate to White, Bradley, Arant, All & Rose in 1951.
