About Us

In a world where lawyers are known for saying no, Williams Mullen is recognized for finding yes®.

Our clients value our dedication to their mission and our practical approach in achieving their goals. Instead of obstructing and complicating and slowing, we streamline and accelerate. 

By bringing the resources of a full-service business law firm to bear, we see challenges and solutions from a more complete perspective. Finding yes is not just saying yes. It’s collaborating with our clients to ensure our counsel is aligned with their business objectives.

In the years since Lewis Williams and James Mullen came together in 1909, our entrepreneurial spirit helped us grow from a single office in Richmond, Virginia, into an Am Law 200 firm with offices across Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. We are privileged to serve clients within our mid-Atlantic footprint, across the United States and internationally.

And we need to understand your business as well as we understand our own. Here is our pledge to you.

Be Fair

Be Fair

We understand that value is important, so we charge a fair price for the services you need. We will staff your matters with not only the right people, but the right number of people. We will let you know when we are not the right choice for a specific legal need and will recommend another attorney outside our firm who can best help.

Understand Your Business

Understand Your Business

We are committed to being business and legal partners who understand your company and your industry. Our team is enthusiastic about our clients and helping their businesses.

“They are a big firm who treat us like a small firm would treat their most important client. This makes my job easier as a client and adds a lot of value.”
