Thoughts on construction law from Christopher G. Hill, Virginia construction lawyer, LEED AP, mediator, and member of the Virginia Legal Elite in Construction Law
As things warm up as they always do in July here in Richmond, Virginia here’s wishing you all a wonderful 4th of July from Construction Law Musings and The Law Office of Christopher G. Hill, PC. I hope that you and your families can take some time off to reflect and relax, stay as cool as possible, and have a great Independence Day holiday celebrating the birthday of our great nation.

I have always found it appropriate that my jump to solo practice and Independence Day are so close in time. Today marks 13 years since my first day as a solo practitioner of construction law at The Law Office of Christopher G. Hill, PC. Time sure has flown by thanks to the great clients and friends that followed me to solo practice and whom I have met since the firm’s founding on July 1, 2010. I also could not have made the transition and had the fun and success over the past 13 years without the support of the best wife and family that any construction lawyer could want.
Since the firm’s last anniversary, my youngest child (who was 7 when this journey began!) started and completed her sophomore year at N. C. State University, my second oldest is a successful car salesman in Boone, NC and my oldest has bought a home, adopted an adorable golden retriever puppy, and celebrated her second marriage anniversary. The first half of 2023 has at least been more normal, meaning lots of construction law representation and a new case or two, along with a few tweaks to the construction law statutory landscape. I have also continued to grow my ADR practice, including arbitration and mediation.
All in all the 13th year as a solo construction attorney has been as good as I could have hoped. Thank you again to the clients, friends, and particularly family that have made the last 13 years of solo practice fulfilling and fun.

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 2023. 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 2023.
The full lists 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.
Thanks again to all of you who participated in my nomination and election.

Well, it’s the end of another year. 2022 brought a sense of relative normalcy after quite a bit of COVID-related and other turmoil in 2020 and 2021. The Virginia General Assembly passed a pay-if-paid ban that will kick in with the coming of 2023. The second post-COVID construction law seminar was enjoyed by all that attended and much was discussed and learned.
Here’s wishing all of you that read Construction Law Musings a happy and fulfilling 2023. I look forward to working and interacting with you in the New Year.

We are nearing the end of another year and looking forward to the next. Most of the Hills are home for the holidays (my oldest and her husband are celebrating in Pittsburgh) for some Christmas cheer while Musings takes some holiday R & R.
I wish you all Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from The Law Office of Christopher G. Hill, PC, and Construction Law Musings. To all of my friends, colleagues, and most importantly, family, I hope you have a safe, warm, and wonderful holiday.
Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to a great 2023 with you, my readers.
