RBA President 2025-2026: Jen West. We Support RBA!

The Bar Association of the City of Richmond (RBA), the oldest bar organization in Virginia, continues to expand a great tradition of service to the bench, the bar, and the public in its third century. The Association’s objectives have remained constant since stated by the founders in 1885: to aid in maintaining the honor and dignity of the profession of law, to promote legal science and the administration of justice, and to cultivate social interaction among its members.

After serving on the RBA Board of Directors for several years, Spotts Fain President and Shareholder Jen West is the President of RBA for the 2025-2026 bar year. Several other Spotts Fain attorneys have active roles on various committees.
