A Letter from the Law Firm Challenge Chair
Dear Fellow Alumni,
Join us in the Law Firm Challenge (LFC), an exciting annual fundraising competition where alumni at law firms from around the globe compete to achieve the highest percentage of alumni giving! Running until June 30, this challenge is all about the collective spirit of generosity.
In 2002, the LFC was started by a group of dedicated alumni who wanted to make a difference for UCLA Law and its students. Their vision and commitment have inspired countless others to join in, demonstrating the profound impact our alumni community can have on our institution.
I am involved in the challenge because I know firsthand the transformative power of UCLA Law's exceptional programs, clinics, and externships have on students. The LFC allows me to play a small role in meaningfully supporting future Bruin lawyers.
No matter the amount or designation, every gift propels your firm towards victory! Your contributions are more than just numbers—they are the lifeblood of UCLA Law's excellence. Alumni support fuels critical programs and ensures our students receive a world-class legal education. Every dollar raised strengthens UCLA Law's ability to shape the future of legal education.
This long-standing Bruin tradition has brought together thousands of UCLA Law alumni worldwide. Be a part of it and make a lasting impact.
Are you ready to take on the challenge? Please see below for the areas of greatest need and your firm's page to make your LFC gift today. Let's make this year the best one yet!
Go Bruins!

Law Firm Challenge Chair
Partner at Reed Smith LLP
