Williams Mullen

Williams Mullen is a regional, full-service business law firm founded in 1909 by Lewis C. Williams and James Mullen. The firm has grown to more than 250 attorneys and is an Am Law 200 firm. From its founding office in Richmond, Virginia, it serves clients throughout the mid-Atlantic region - including Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina - as well as across the United States and internationally.

The firm's practice spans a broad set of business law disciplines. Core areas include mergers and acquisitions, labor and employment, healthcare law, intellectual property and private client services. Industry focuses include healthcare, business and corporate matters, and professional services. Counsel is delivered with a practical orientation, aligned with client business objectives rather than legal abstraction alone.

Williams Mullen describes its approach through what it calls a "finding yes" philosophy - a reputation for identifying solutions rather than defaulting to refusal. A formal Client Service Pledge sets out commitments to responsiveness, clear communication, fairness and a deep understanding of clients' businesses. The firm also applies its full-service resources from a complete perspective across practice areas, with a collaborative working style dedicated to client missions.
