Alston & Bird vaulted into the Top 10 teams in the Legal Food Frenzy, with about $9,700 collected as of 4 p.m. Thursday. The firm was less than $100 behind last year’s winner, Habachy Law, but both teams trailed Georgia Tech’s in-house legal department, which held the lead at just over $19,000.

Overall, the legal community has raised $268,219 for food banks around the state, which face unprecedented demand in light of job losses from the economic shutdown to slow the COVID-19 pandemic.
