About

Willcox & Savage, P.C. is a full-service law firm founded in 1895 and headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, with additional offices in McLean and Richmond. The firm has grown to over 60 attorneys while maintaining a midsize structure designed to deliver sophisticated legal counsel with personalized client service.

The firm's practice spans corporate and commercial law, commercial real estate, litigation and investigation, and regulatory and public policy matters. Its Corporate and Commercial Law team advises companies, founders, and investors on mergers and acquisitions, private placements, joint ventures, and commercial contracts across media, software, life sciences, real estate, and industrial sectors. The Commercial Real Estate Group serves owners, developers, lenders, and tenants throughout the full lifecycle of commercial projects—from site acquisition and entitlements through financing, development, leasing, and disposition—in Hampton Roads and across the United States. The firm's Litigation and Investigation team handles high-stakes disputes with emphasis on practical resolution and client outcomes. Its Regulatory and Policy practices provide proactive guidance to clients navigating complex legislative and regulatory landscapes, with particular depth in gaming, cannabis, heavy construction, licensing, procurement, workforce matters, land use, zoning, permitting, and development across real estate, telecommunications, renewable energy, and healthcare sectors.

Willcox & Savage emphasizes a client-first approach centered on understanding clients' broader goals rather than simply responding to immediate legal challenges. The firm's longevity and institutional knowledge allow it to anticipate legal issues and deliver strategic foresight alongside practical solutions. Attorneys and staff operate within a collaborative, family-oriented culture that prioritizes mentorship, professional development, and relationship-building. Junior attorneys receive mentoring from partners and faster paths to partnership, supported by an environment that encourages both professional growth and personal development.

The firm serves clients locally, regionally, and nationally. Its offices are strategically positioned to serve businesses and institutions near major commercial hubs, including one of the nation's busiest ports, the largest naval installation, industrial manufacturing centers, the Washington, D.C. technology corridor, and Virginia's governmental and political hub. This positioning reflects the firm's capacity to handle sophisticated, complex matters while remaining responsive and accessible to client needs.
