Wow! It’s been 10 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 that 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 10 years without the support of the best wife and family that a lawyer could want.
Since the firm’s last anniversary, my oldest child graduated from West Virginia University, is gainfully employed, and engaged to be married to a wonderful guy I’ve known for quite a while. My second oldest is headed into his senior year at Appalachian State University and my youngest is going to be a senior in high school. This is a far cry from the family status 10 years ago when I started this solo journey. Of course, all of this is currently against the backdrop of COVID-19 and its changes to how we work, educate, and socialize.
Professionally, I’ve had a great year. I am in my second year as the chair of the legislative committee of the Section Council of the Virginia Bar Association Construction and Public Contracts Law section. I was also honored to be nominated and elected to the Virginia Legal Elite in Construction Law for the 13th straight year and to the Virginia Super Lawyers in Construction Litigation for the 4th year running. I also continued to have the opportunity to teach in various construction related venues on relevant topics and to help out some of the best clients around.
All in all the last year was a tenth great year out of 10. Thank you again to the clients, friends, and particularly family that have made the last 10 years of solo practice fulfilling and fun.
