Business Law in Roanoke and Lynchburg
Roanoke and Lynchburg have strong healthcare, manufacturing, and education sectors and many family-owned businesses. We help owners with LLC and corporation formation, contracts, succession planning, and buying or selling a business through our mergers and acquisitions practice.
Churches and Nonprofits
We help Virginia charities, churches, and community organizations start a nonprofit, apply for 501(c)(3) status, adopt bylaws and conflict of interest policies, and stay compliant as they grow. Learn more about our work with nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations.
We also help churches and camps with property transfers, including moving property held by trustees into an incorporated organization.

Western Virginia transactions often involve rural land, older deeds, and access or boundary questions. We handle commercial real estate transactions, review title and survey issues, and prepare deeds for transfers into entities, trusts, and organizations. Deeds are recorded with the circuit court clerk for the county or city where the land sits.
