Buckingham Columbus values community involvement and encourages attorneys and staff to actively participate in civic, charitable, business, religious, and social organizations.  As a member of the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and many other professional and civic service organizations, the Columbus office is helping to shape the direction and build the economy of the city.  

Buckingham Columbus has participated in the Komen Race for the Cure for several years.  Motivated to participate by the loss of his sister to breast cancer, Attorney Brett Miller has championed this cause, recruiting firm members to participate and contribute.  Those numbers have grown from a few the first few years to over 75 participants in the 2004 race.

Buckingham Columbus has recently partnered with Highland Elementary and the Ohio Reads Program to participate in a reading and mentoring program with this local school in the Hilltop Area.  Buckingham Columbus staff and attorneys tutor students and donate books and supplies.  In 2004, our employees volunteered to sponsor one family from the school district and help provide items to make their holiday a little brighter.   

Buckingham Columbus has been an active partner with Kids Voting.  For over two years, the office had donated space to this organization, which teaches K - 12 students the principles of democracy and encourages them to be more active in community and political activities.

Buckingham Columbus has incorporated an area of our office lobby to feature works from local artists on an ongoing basis.  Local artists have access to this area to meet with interested collectors or to host a public show.  Press releases are distributed to local media to promote each new artist in residence.   We are currently  featuring the works of Phillip Ghavengaard.

Buckingham Columbus is also very involved with the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio and its Foundation.  “We believe that the construction industry is one of the most important forces for economic growth in central Ohio, and that the Builders Exchange plays a vital role through a range of valuable services, including workforce development activities.” 

“Over the years, Buckingham Columbus attorneys have contributed to this effort by providing countless hours of volunteering and teaching to BX members.  Real estate and construction law is an important practice area for our firm and we place a high value on the relationships we have developed through our membership in this fine organization,” said Don Leach, Managing Partner of Buckingham Columbus and the first practicing attorney to be president of the Builders Exchange Board of Directors.
