St. Mary’s Home was nominated by Gayle Gregg, the firm’s Technical Services Librarian. St. Mary’s Home was established in Norfolk in 1944 for abandoned and orphaned children. It is now home to 88 children, newborn to age 21, living with severe intellectual and physical disabilities resulting from birth disorders, traumatic accidents, illness, or child abuse, who require around-the-clock attention. Additionally, with the opening of The Albero House in 2013, St. Mary’s also cares for 12 adults older than age 21.

Members of the Litigation practice each focus on particular areas of complex trial work in both federal and state courts and in both civil and criminal arenas. In addition to seasoned trial lawyers who handle a broad spectrum of commercial and contractual disputes, the section boasts a deep selection of bar leaders in a large number of more complex litigation areas including complex commercial disputes; intellectual property law, antitrust law, securities law, policyholder coverage matters, business torts, products liability, white-collar criminal defense, labor and employment, bankruptcy, environmental law, government contracting and construction law and others.
Wrongful Death
Our attorneys handle complex commercial disputes arising from agreements unique to the maritime industry as well as marine casualty, personal injury, wrongful death, loss of cargo and pollution claims. We respond to government investigations, resolve administrative and criminal enforcement actions and defend criminal and civil litigation. Moreover, we handle coverage disputes with regard to cargo, hull and marine general liability insurance on behalf of marine insurers. We emphasize in-depth investigations and evaluate all settlement options in order to settle personal injury cases quickly under reasonable terms without litigation. When litigation is warranted, however, we work closely with the client to develop and execute an effective trial or appeal strategy.

The Genieve Shelter’s mission is to provide a safe refuge and supportive environment for the victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking and provide free information, education, and training services that focus on ending the cycle of violence.

Fraud
Kaufman & Canoles Senior Housing and Care Team is comprised of attorneys with substantial experience counseling clients in the unique challenges confronted by providers of housing and services for seniors. We have a keen understanding of the wide range of legal, healthcare and business issues that companies in the industry face, whether they are continuing care retirement communities (CCRC), active adult communities, nursing facilities, assisted living facilities or other combinations of senior living and healthcare services. Our lawyers work with clients as they move through the maze of Medicare, Medicaid, Fair Housing Act, HIPAA, ADA and OSHA issues among other regulatory issues; healthcare fraud and abuse inquiries and investigations; survey and certification matters; facilities and enterprise acquisitions; facility construction; financing transactions for tax exempt and taxable financing whether public or private placement and implementation of business agreements. We understand the challenging regulatory landscape the industry faces as the 62+ population continues to grow.

The firm has represented national, regional and local businesses, as well as officers, executives and other employees in matters of fiduciary violations, public corruption, and government fraud
Theft
Embezzlement
Data privacy and security is increasingly important to your business and that of your clients. A stolen laptop, credit card data theft, employee embezzlement, or a hacker with access to your company’s website or private databases can be a significant threat not only to your clients, but to your valuable reputation as well. Every breach comes with potential liabilities. That’s why the Kaufman & Canoles Data Privacy and Security Practice Group is standing by to respond to your company’s needs, regardless of your size or industry. You may reach us at any time by calling or emailing our hotline –
Assault
Identity Theft
Kaufman & Canoles’ Consumer Finance Practice Group represents lenders, servicers, debt holders, furnishers of credit and investors in consumer credit litigation and class actions related to residential mortgage origination, servicing and default. It also represents lenders, debt holders, furnishers of credit and credit card issuers in consumer disputes, claims made under the FDCPA, FCRA, SCRA, ECOA, TCPA, unfair and deceptive trade practices, debt collection violations, identity theft, privacy issues, bankruptcy and fiduciary-related claims.
Restraining Order
We can help you protect your ideas from others or represent you in trial when you are accused of infringing on the IP rights of others. Kaufman & Canoles’ IP Litigation lawyers have earned reputations as some of the finest trial lawyers (who actually try IP cases to judges and juries). The group’s trial lawyers routinely represent clients in Virginia and throughout the nation on IP matters and are particularly adept at navigating the intricacies of, and trying, IP cases within the “rocket docket” of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The group’s IP lawyers have successfully tried many major patent, trademark and copyright trials to juries for international, national and regional businesses and have been involved in hundreds of such cases, establishing a record of trial success in these complex areas, as well as statewide reputations for their qualifications and capabilities. We can efficiently handle preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders when infringement issues arise. We also have successfully represented clients in disputes before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, WIPO and other tribunals under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, and in other alternate dispute resolution proceedings.
Internet Crimes
Our Internet law expertise ranges from online user agreements, e-commerce and private arrangements, protection under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and domain name and cybersquatting disputes. Our lawyers have litigated IT and Internet disputes ranging from computer crimes, to software copyright and trade secret infringement litigation actions, to domain name disputes under the cybersquatting provisions of the Lanham and ICANN’s Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy. We have developed considerable familiarity with UCITA, the legal code governing computer information transactions that has been enacted into law by the Virginia legislature.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Extensive experience representing shareholders in corporate disputes, from derivative actions, to proxy battles, to claims of corporate waste and mismanagement
Mergers and Acquisitions
Our attorneys work closely with members of our other commercial practice areas to collaborate on aspects of executive compensation, employee benefits (both qualified and non-qualified plans), and mergers and acquisitions, among others.
Business Formation
The Alcoholic Beverage Team is dedicated to providing legal services for vineyards, breweries, and distilleries in the Mid-Atlantic region. Our attorneys have decades of experience assisting clients in business formation, financing, lease negotiation, permit acquisition, environmental issues, employment law, licensing and compliance. We guide our clients through the complex world of alcohol regulation and often represent clients before state and federal alcohol and beverage control agencies.
Business Disputes
As the largest business law firm headquartered in Southeastern Virginia, we have built our reputation on legal excellence and responsive client service for more than 100 years. We believe we can best serve our clients by continuing to grow, broadening our scope of business, and hiring the best legal talent.
Business Transactions
In our experience in business transactions, one plus one rarely, if ever, equals two. Business combinations are generally about leveraging opportunities–combining the strengths and exploiting the synergies of the seller and buyer to create a combination that is greater than the sum of the parts. We understand that there are significant risk/reward elements faced by every buyer and seller in a transaction. A transaction’s opportunities as well as its liabilities and risks must be identified and addressed or the results will suffer—one plus one could fall short of two, or even worse. When transactions are properly planned and executed, both the buyer and the seller reap the rewards. When transactions are ill advised or poorly executed, the acquired entities can create a significant drag on otherwise healthy buyers, while sellers can easily find themselves unduly exposed on representations, warranties and indemnities. In every facet of our engagement, we strive to help our clients meet their business objectives while carefully assessing and managing the risks.
Limited Liability Companies
A significant portion of our practice is the representation of real estate developers, investors and related entities including REITs. Tax deferral for the sale or purchase of real estate is a common goal of these clients, and our attorneys constantly oversee and implement tax-deferral methods such as Section 1031 like-kind exchanges and Section 453 installment sales. In addition, our representation of these clients extends to advising them on matters involving new market tax credits, capital gains v. ordinary income planning on sale of assets, and net operating loss issues. We frequently consider the utility of limited liability companies (taxed either as a partnership or as a corporation electing subchapter S status) and subchapter S corporations in addressing clients’ matters and resolving issues. We are also proficient in matters involving entities that are disregarded for federal income taxation purposes such as single-member limited liability companies and qualified subchapter S subsidiaries.
Construction Contracts
Advised school district on multiple school construction project including development of RFP, design, construction manager and construction contracts
Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
Due to its impressive depth, Kaufman & Canoles’ Intellectual Property Group is one of the most well recognized and strongest practices in the state.

Antitrust
Our focus in the technical area of antitrust law has allowed our trial team to successfully try cases for many different industry segments in both the civil and criminal arenas

Wrongful Termination
Modern business has created a kaleidoscope of federal and state employment laws. No matter which way employers turn, multifaceted legal complexities are in view. Most of these laws provide an avenue for workers – current employees, former employees, and even applicants – to challenge employment decisions in court or before agencies. Employers increasingly are being subjected to lawsuits based on allegations of discrimination, negligence, defamation or wrongful discharge theories. Lawsuits and other formal proceedings are expensive, intrusive, time-consuming and uncertain.
Employment Contract
In addition, we are frequently involved on our clients’ behalf in the internal issues of physician practices, physician recruitment, physicians’ employment agreements, covenants not to compete, shareholders’ agreements, stock purchase agreements and deferred compensation arrangements.
Employment Litigation
The Franchise Practice Group at Kaufman & Canoles has a history of success in representing both franchisors and franchisees. Our attorneys have served as counsel for large and small franchisors, as well as multi-unit and single unit franchisees. Come to us for legal advice including: becoming a franchisor, operating your franchise system, evaluating a franchise, setting up the best legal entity for your franchise, negotiating a fair lease, or contract and employment issues. We can also help you with complex issues such as franchise disputes or protection of your intellectual property.

Our Credit Union Team attorneys, and dedicated and experienced paraprofessionals, are committed to helping credit union executives and their boards of directors run successful credit unions. On a daily basis, we advise credit unions on federal and state laws and regulations particular to the credit union community.
