- Business DisputesMany of our clients are located in other states and depend on our understanding of the federal and state courts in Virginia. We have served as local counsel to many of the nation’s most respected law firms, particularly in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, assisting in cases ranging from simple business disputes to complex intellectual property cases to class actions. Commonly referred to as the “Rocket Docket,” the Eastern District of Virginia is an attractive forum for litigants seeking swift justice. This Court consistently has one of the shortest time periods from initial filing to trial of any court in the nation. Our knowledge of the Local Rules and procedures enables us to serve as local counsel for litigants who are unfamiliar with the practices of this Court.

- Workers Compensation-We represented a large multistate refuse company with claims relating to an illegal scheme for the provision of workers compensation insurance.
- Non-compete Agreement-In a dispute involving a non-compete agreement between two bidders on a construction project for the federal government, our attorneys successfully defended a lawsuit which sought to enjoin the client from bidding on the contract.
