For the third year in a row, Woods Rogers Vandeventer Black’s (WRVB) firm leaders Victor Cardwell and Dan Summerlin have been named in Virginia Business magazine’s Virginia 500 Power List. The list recognizes Virginia’s top business and community leaders for 2022-23. Also, for the first time, attorney Ben Rottenborn has been included in this list.

According to Richard Foster, the magazine’s editor, the publication researchers considered a variety of factors including “annual revenue, newsworthiness, community involvement, diversity, number of employees (in Virginia and worldwide) and how large a presence the organization has in the commonwealth.”

The recognized attorneys have received numerous accolades throughout their career, including Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, Legal Elite, and Lawyers of the Year, among many others. In addition to their legal practices, Cardwell and Summerlin serve Woods Rogers as Chairman of the Board and firm President, respectively, and Rottenborn is also a board member of the new firm.
