A formidable advocate in high-stakes business litigation

Our company retained Hugh Fain when we were facing a complex, multi-million dollar contractual dispute that threatened the very viability of our business. From our initial consultation, it was clear we were dealing with a lawyer of exceptional caliber. His deep, 17-year focus on Bet-the-Company litigation in Virginia was immediately evident. He didn't just understand the law; he grasped the intricate business pressures we were under and crafted a strategy that protected our operational interests as much as our legal position. His background from VMI and UVA Law seems to instill a disciplined, strategic approach that was invaluable. While the process moved deliberately—as these high-stakes cases do—his team’s preparation was meticulous. We were particularly impressed with his ability to anticipate opposing counsel's moves, which we later learned is a hallmark of his recognized expertise, having been named Lawyer of the Year in this specific field multiple times. The outcome was a highly favorable settlement that preserved our company's future. If there was one minor critique, it would be that communication during certain intense phases of discovery could occasionally lag by a day, but the substance of the updates was always worth the wait. We would not hesitate to engage Mr. Fain and Spotts Fain PC again for any matter of critical business importance.
