Law Firm Overview

Elliott Lawson & Minor (EL&M) is primarily a business and litigation lawfirm practicing in the Tri-Cities region of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia (Bristol, Tennessee - Virginia; Johnson City & Kingsport, Tennessee; Abingdon, Virginia) from its base in Bristol, a single community forming two cities in two different states.

All of the firm's lawyers are admitted to practice in both Tennessee and Virginia state courts. The firm handles cases in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia in both state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels. All of its attorneys routinely handle cases in federal court regardless of the state.

EL&M attorneys also have extensive experience practicing before state and federal administrative agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The firm's attorneys live in Virginia and Tennessee and are involved in the social, civic and political life of the region.

Most of the firm's clients are businesses with headquarters in the region, government organizations in Tennessee and Virginia, and national and international firms with regional interests. The firm's attorneys are experienced in commercial, contract, construction, labor, employment, civil rights, municipal, and environmental litigation. The firm also handles substantial transactional matters (as opposed to litigation), such as mergers, acquisitions, buy-sell, and other business deals.

Utilizing the latest communication and research technologies, EL&M is dedicated to providing effective, value-based, legal advice to its clients.
