Legislative Affairs

Morris & Morris regularly provides legislative representation for clients before the Virginia General Assembly. Phil Morris, a former state legislator who represented Richmond in the House of Delegates for two terms, heads Morris & Morris’ broad lobbying practice.

Morris & Morris attorneys have served as official representatives before the General Assembly for clients in such varied fields as insurance, health care, banking, retailing, local government, title insurance, real estate development and manufacturing. The firm monitors all legislation introduced in the General Assembly and provides information on legislative developments to clients who may be affected by them.

The firm’s attorneys have been leaders in reform of the civil justice system on a national basis, and in many states, including punitive damage litigation, preservation of confidentiality, product liability uniformity and tort reform.
