Fortif Law Partners

What Fortif Law Partners does

Fortif Law Partners is a privately-held Alabama law firm founded in 2017 by Bing Edwards and headquartered in Birmingham, with a second office in Dothan. The firm operates as Fortif Law Partners, LLC, an LLC owned by its partner group, and employs 11 people — 9 attorney partners plus a Legal Assistant and a Strategic Consultant. It delivers legal services across 16 practice areas including Business Law, Corporate Transactions, Dispute Resolution, Economic Development, Employment, Government & Ethics, Grant Management, Healthcare, Intellectual Property, Nonprofit Representation, Project Management, Public Policy, Social Impact, Startups, Strategic Planning, and Wills, Trusts & Estates.

The firm serves a diversified client base spanning for-profit businesses (from startups to Alabama's largest companies), nonprofit organizations and private foundations, government agencies and regulatory boards, and education/research institutions. Attorney partners are licensed in Alabama, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Texas, and consulting work reaches clients across 13 states. Fortif differentiates through an interdisciplinary model in which most matters intersect multiple practice areas, combined with integrated strategic consulting delivered through Fortif Advisors, a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional-services billings (hourly fees, fixed fees, and contingency arrangements), with no public pricing disclosure. Go-to-market relies on attorney personal brands, community involvement, board service, and relationship-driven referral networks, supplemented by a LinkedIn corporate presence. The firm holds no external institutional investment, maintains no proprietary technology platform, and reports no AI/ML capabilities in its service delivery.
