McCandlish Holton

McCandlish Holton Civil litigation, business law, immigration, and workers' compensation serving clients nationally and internationally with litigation and matters in Virginia.

McCandlish Holton provides innovative business and legal strategies for the marketplace of today and tomorrow. From our offices in the financial district of Richmond, Virginia, we represent professionals and businesses, ranging from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, in all aspects of their legal needs. Since our inception more than 35 years ago, our advice has been founded on three bedrock

principles: responding to the particular goals of each client; clearly understanding our clients’ businesses and business objectives, and applying innovative thinking to the matter at hand. We do not merely identify obstacles. We look beyond traditional solutions to achieve favorable outcomes, whether in structuring business transactions, litigating a dispute, or overcoming regulatory hurdles. We achieve success only as a result of the success of our clients. We advise our clients regarding a full range of practice areas. Depending on the needs of a particular client, our attorneys work in collaborative, multi-specialty teams, or as focused specialists in a particular area. We continually innovate, ensuring that our U.S. and foreign clients receive unparalleled legal expertise at extremely competitive rates. We recognize our obligation to give back to the communities in which we practice. Toward that end, our attorneys contribute many hours annually of pro bono legal services and serve as leaders and volunteers with a wide array of civic and charitable organizations. At McCandlish Holton, we are committed to providing strategically oriented, high-value services to each of our clients.

We are proud to share that The Journal of Civil Litigation has published our associate, Jonathan Thomas’, article: “A New Standard: How Virginia Code Section 8.01-42.6 Changes the Framework of Employer Liability in Virginia.”

Virginia Code § 8.01-42.6 represents a significant shift in how employer liability may be analyzed in certain tort cases—particularly those brought on behalf of “vulnerable victims.” Jonathan’s analysis provides valuable guidance on how this new statutory framework expands potential exposure for employers and reshapes key defenses. It is a must-read for civil litigators navigating these evolving claims and advising employer clients in Virginia.
