Jacksonville Law Firm Celebrates 130 Years, Hosts Chamber Event Today

Rammelkamp Bradney, a Jacksonville law firm founded in 1895, is marking 130 years in business by hosting the Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce Chamber After Hours this afternoon from 4 30 to 6 00 p.m. at 230 W. State St. The firm will introduce new associates Austin Wright, Isaac Oh and Shelby Emery during the event, and attendees can enter a drawing for a Chamber Check at 5 45 p.m.

The gathering serves both as a celebration of longevity and as a practical networking opportunity for Morgan County residents and business owners. Chamber After Hours events commonly draw local professionals, small business owners and community leaders, and the timing signals an ongoing investment in Jacksonville's professional services capacity. Adding three associates expands the firm s bench at a time when local enterprises often rely on nearby legal counsel for business formation, real estate closings and regulatory compliance.

From an economic perspective, a 130 year presence underscores stability in the county s business services sector. Longstanding professional firms contribute to the local market by retaining institutional knowledge, supporting real estate transactions and providing services that lower startup costs for new businesses. For Morgan County, events that connect legal providers with entrepreneurs help reduce information frictions that can slow small business growth.

For attendees the immediate benefits are concrete. Residents can meet the new attorneys, raise questions about legal services, and make professional contacts that may lead to referrals or faster resolution of legal matters. For local business owners the opportunity to speak directly with attorneys in an informal setting can translate into quicker access to counsel on employment, contracts and property matters.

The event runs until 6 00 p.m. and is open to Chamber members and guests. The firm s office is at 230 W. State St. in downtown Jacksonville and the Chamber Check drawing is scheduled for 5 45 p.m.
