Please complete the questionnaire below. We will get back to you shortly with a rate for the services and our engagement letter to proceed with the service.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Companies eventually evolve and strive for improved operations or growth by combining their resources and efforts with other companies. Sometimes, the legal requirement for spinning off specific productive assets involves Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and divestitures, both of which may entail structural modifications to underlying business via the sale or purchase of the entire company or its parts.
Business Disputes

Mr. Miller has represented individuals and businesses of all sizes in state and federal courts for Virginia and D.C., helping numerous clients obtain substantial recoveries both at trial and through settlement. In addition to his courtroom experience, Zach Miller enjoys assisting clients in navigating potential pitfalls and business disputes while implementing safeguards to protect their interests.
Business Transactions
Businesses planning on expanding their interests and exploring resources via mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures would benefit from working with skilled legal partners who could help them mitigate the risks usually linked to such business transactions.
Limited Liability Companies
Strict government compliance rules regulate corporations and Limited Liability Companies. The experienced corporate attorneys at McClanahan Powers work with corporate management to ensure that companies maintain proper records, submit quarterly and annual reports, and remain compliant with state and federal law. Corporate governance and government compliance are becoming more and more complex as many corporations and businesses have multiple offices in several states and, in many cases, in several countries. In addition, it is further complicated when considering factors both internal to the corporation, such as shareholder agreements, corporate bylaws or constitutions, and the parties involved (i.e., officers, stockholders, human resource managers, etc.), as well as external factors, such as consumer groups and government regulations. Due to the complex nature of corporate governance, it is essential to consult with a skilled corporate attorney.
Trade Secrets
A Trade Secret is non-public classified or undisclosed information specifically defined and protected under federal and state law. Trade Secret protection is also one of the very few avenues which allow ideas to be protectable in their capacity as a tangible expression. A famous example of a Trade Secret is the formula for Coca-Cola.
Intellectual Property
Dirk McClanahan is a Fairfax, Virginia native trained at Michigan State University College of Law, a top ten academic program for intellectual property law. Dirk McClanahan has successfully litigated matters in Virginia federal and state courts, including several multi-million dollar claims. In addition, he represents individuals and businesses, both large and small, to ensure that their legal rights are protected and enforced. Dirk McClanahan has worked with and litigated against several AmLaw 500 international firms throughout his law practice, having taken part in cases with legal issues ranging from intellectual property licensing business acquisitions and contract enforcement and defense.

Wrongful Termination
Successfully pursued and defended employees and employers in wrongful termination and Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) cases.
Employment Discrimination
Labor and employment law is heavily regulated. There are numerous and overlapping Federal, State, and Local laws that apply. In addition, some unique differences can impact the strategies that our clients may utilize. For example, a federal Title VII discrimination claim requires the employer to have a minimum of 15 employees to maintain an action against the employer. However, Virginia state statutes require there only to be six employees. This can sometimes lead employers who think that they are not exposed to federal laws to behave poorly; unknowingly, they reveal themselves to state statutes. Similarly, some local county laws further reduce the requirements. It is worth noting that the differences between the federal, state and local employment discrimination laws can be significant, including the damages available and statutory filing deadlines.
Employment Contract
Breach of contract is one of the most common claims and causes of action for a lawsuit, which is not surprising given the complexity of business arrangements. So many contracts are drafted poorly or without the parties fully understanding their consequences. In Virginia, to prove liability for a breach of contract, lawsuit the plaintiff must show that the other party, without legal excuse, failed to perform an obligation placed on it by the contract or Virginia Code § 59.1-507.1. “Breach of contract: material breach,” in the absence of a written agreement. Also, under Virginia contract law, there is an implied standard of good faith and fair dealing that is read into every contract. This is not a separate cause of action but could be used to show or determine a breach of contract independently. Our Virginia contract attorneys have extensive experience litigating breach of contract cases involving loan agreements, patient contracts with doctors’ offices, copyright licensing, non-disclosure agreements, and employment contracts.
Employment Litigation
The employee and the employer must understand these procedures and the timelines for reporting a claim or following lawsuits and disputes to protect and enforce their legal rights. In addition, many states, including Virginia, have state-based protections in place that can impact these procedures and the timeline to file claims. Therefore, it is crucial that parties involved in employment litigation speak with a skilled and experienced Virginia employment lawyer to determine their legal rights.

Construction Litigation
There are many moving pieces on the typical construction site. Inevitably, this fast-paced environment leads to mistakes or delays. In light of the necessity to allocate risk for these occurrences, it is essential to consult an experienced Virginia construction lawyer. The allocation of risk is best addressed in a written contract between the parties. An effective construction contract should address such issues as change orders, dispute resolution procedures, claim procedures, payment terms, site conditions, notice, and damages for delays. For example, a construction contract typically requires change orders to be approved in writing before the performance of the work. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of all contractual provisions before a contractor invests additional time and money on the project. Avoid future lawsuits and disputes.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
D’Ambrosio v. Wolf, et al., 295 Va. 48, 809 S.E.2d 625 (2018); Mr. McClanahan prevailed in the appeal of his client’s Petition to the Supreme Court of Virginia based upon estate litigation. The trial court dismissed the plaintiff’s claims during a plea in bar. However, the trial judge’s ruling during a plea in bar was reversed by the Supreme Court of Virginia, and the case was remanded back to Circuit Court for further proceedings. This appeal involved res judicata, collateral estoppel, and judicial estoppel issues.
Wills
Probate is when a will is presented to the court to determine its validity and verify it as the decedent’s Last Will and Testament. Depending on the state, one of two witnesses, who were present at the signing of a will, must appear before the court. They also need to state under oath that the requirements for a valid will were conducted at the signing. To expedite this process during the creation of a will, we will arrange for a self-proving affidavit. A self-proving affidavit will remove the need to subpoena witnesses to come before the court to testify that the will was signed.
Trusts
Trusts & Estate Planning is one of the most important things an individual can do to protect their family’s financial security and overall well-being and future. Every estate plan is different and should be customized to the needs and interests of the individual and their family. Having a properly drafted and executed Will and/or Trust is essential to a well-conceived estate plan. For example, in some situations, it may be best to have the principal instrument in your estate plan be a Will and in others a Revocable Living Trust.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is the legal authorization by one person for another (agent) to act on their behalf. This authorization, however, ends at the death or incapacity of the individual granting such permission. A Durable Power of Attorney means that the legal authority to act on another’s behalf continues after the incapacity or death of the individual granting such authorization. A durable power of attorney can range from decisions relating to property or health care issues. Additionally, a well-written durable power of attorney specifies the amount of authority your agent is permitted; however, it is essential to note that these rights vary from state to state.
Probate

Do not hesitate to obtain professional help when you need it.
