The northern Virginia legal market presents its own set of challenges for law firms. Firm leaders in the region, which includes the cities of McLean, Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria, have mixed reactions on the state of business. The region’s distinct set of practices includes intellectual property, government contracts and real estate, to name a few.
"Over the past couple years the demand in northern Virginia has been very flat," said John Burlingame, managing partner of Squire Sanders’ Washington and Tysons Corner, Va., offices. "We haven’t seen large spikes up or down."
