Virginia politics is familiar territory for Washington, D.C.-based Venable and Richmond’s McGuireWoods. Still, they recently found themselves in a rare situation for Big Law, with current lawyers at both firms earning party nominations when the state held its primary elections on June 13.
Justin Fairfax, a counsel at Venable, and John Adams, the partner who heads McGuireWoods’ white-collar department, are running for Virginia lieutenant governor and attorney general, respectively.

Adams is a Republican who was uncontested in his nomination.
