We provide government and administrative law solutions to support the local governing bodies in communities across Virginia and North Carolina.
Counties, cities, towns, school boards, and other municipal agencies rely on Sands Anderson’s local government attorneys to help them understand and navigate the legal issues and mandates impacting their daily operations. With the largest team of attorneys in private practice dedicated to supporting local government in Virginia, we will help you understand what is legally required in each situation and aim to remove potential hindrances, mitigate risk, and maximize success with those you serve.
Our deep bench of municipal attorneys and in-depth knowledge of the strategic legal needs of our government clients is the result of years of service in similar roles, whether in-house as city or county attorney, or as outside counsel for counties, cities, towns, municipalities, or school boards. As your legal ally, our government and administrative law team will deliver the daily, short-term, and long-term advice and government litigation experience you require to meet your legal responsibilities while providing important resources to your citizens.
