Thanks to All for the 2024 Super Lawyers Nod!

Posted on April 24, 2024 by Christopher G. Hill • 0 Comments

It is with humility and a sense of accomplishment that I announce that I have been selected for the seventh straight year to the Virginia Super Lawyers in the Construction Litigation category for 2024. Add this to my recent election to the Virginia Legal Elite in Construction and I’ve had a pretty good year. As always, I am thrilled to be included on these peer-elected lists.

So without further ado, thank you to my peers and those on the panel at Virginia Super Lawyers for the great honor. I feel quite proud to be part of the 5% of Virginia attorneys that made this list for 2024.

The full list of Virginia Super Lawyers will appear in the May edition of Richmond Magazine. Please check it out.

If you want to see the lists before then, a digital version of the Virginia Super Lawyers Magazine is available here (click on the Virginia magazine).

Thanks again to all of you who participated in my nomination and election.

As always, I welcome your comments below. Please subscribe to keep up with this and other Construction Law Musings.
