Special Features
Virginia’s Largest Law Firms
Virginia Lawyers Weekly’s annual survey ranks law firms in the commonwealth by the number of Virginia-licensed attorneys working in offices located within Virginia. The survey includes other information, such as location(s) of offices, addresses and phone numbers. Enhanced listings include additional information, such as the firm Web site address, areas of practice, firm contacts and other significant data.
Largest Verdicts
This annual special section includes verdicts and settlements of $1 million or more. To make the list, the verdict must be for at least $1 million, returned by a jury in Virginia - not a judge, and returned within the past calendar year.
New Associates’ Salary Survey
Virginia Lawyers Weekly’s 20th annual New Associate Salary Survey continues to track the current trends among top-paying law firms. These figures are watched by both large and small firm lawyers across Virginia, and generally reflect the state of the marketplace.
Leaders in the Law
Virginia Lawyers Weekly recognizes attorneys who accomplished something significant within the past year - those who changed practice, advanced the law or improved the justice system in Virginia. These are lawyers who are setting the standards for other lawyers.
