Staying Current in a Rapidly Evolving Legal Landscape
In the August 2025 issue of Virginia State Bar’s Virginia Lawyer Magazine, Government & Special Investigations attorney Justin Lugar explores the shifting legal landscape since President Donald Trump’s inauguration. With more than 170 Executive Orders issued, the pace and scope of change demand heightened vigilance from legal professionals across all sectors.
Justin’s article equips practitioners with practical tools to stay ahead of the evolving federal regulations, policies, and enforcement priorities emerging from D.C. He shares strategies for spotting emerging legal risks, addressing blind spots, and harnessing professional networks to stay informed in a climate of rapid transformation.
“Whether you are a Virginia lawyer at a multinational firm, a corporate officer, or in-house counsel at a mid-size regional firm, or a small or solo shop, we all share common responsibility for the quality of justice our system metes out. Our duty is heightened during rapid change and uncertainty,” shared Justin.
