Business Law Section   

The Business Law Section is for lawyers who advise businesses and corporations on matters from formations to mergers, governance and regulatory compliance.

The Section deals with all aspects of capital raising under federal and state blue sky law, the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the Revised Uniform Partnership Act, the Limited Partnership Act, laws governing Limited Liability Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships and other new forms of business entities. It also deals with issues arising under the Uniform Commercial Code and other issues (including ethics) of general interest to transactional lawyers in Virginia.

The VBA Business Law Section Council and the VBA Real Estate Section Council established the Legal Opinions Committee of The Virginia Bar Association as a standing committee to serve business practitioners who are called upon to deliver legal opinions in connection with M&A, loan and other commercial transactions. Membership on the Committee is open to any member of the VBA Business Law Section or the VBA Real Estate Section.
