Legal Elite 2024: Health Law Q&A Jason R. Davis

2024 Q&A is .

Title: Member, president and CEO, co-chair of Practice Group

Other specialties: Litigation

Education: Bachelor’s degree in finance, University of Virginia; degree, William & Mary Law School

Family: Wife, Leigh Davis, vice president for donor engagement at the Hampton Roads Community Foundation; daughter, Ella Davis, senior at Duke University; daughter, Kate Davis, sophomore at Southern Methodist University

Career mentors: The Hon. William T. Prince Jr., R. Barrow Blackwell

Book I’d recommend: “The Underground Railroad,” by Colson Whitehead

First legal job: I worked in the Williamsburg/James City County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office as a law student, which introduced me to the courtroom and taught me to think on my feet. After law school, I clerked for Magistrate Judge Prince in the Eastern District of Virginia, which was the single most important learning experience of my career.

Favorite place I’ve traveled: Iceland. An incredible combination of beautiful, otherworldly landscapes and exciting activities

In a post-Dobbs legal environment, are and multistate health systems likely to be seeking more legal advice around Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act compliance? I believe so. On a national level, there either are or will be state statutory schemes surrounding reproduction that arguably conflict with federal obligations under EMTALA. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has recognized this and reaffirmed its commitment to enforce compliance with EMTALA obligations even in the face of conflicting state laws. This all can leave hospitals and physicians (who likewise can be penalized under EMTALA) with a great deal of uncertainty.

As Kaufman & Canoles’ new president and CEO, how do you balance your administrative and strategic role with your own practice and clients? By being part of an incredible team. I have a group of attorneys and support staff in our Health Care Practice Group who are extremely good at what they do. Our clients know they can rely on all of us. I am part of a four-attorney executive committee that is diligent and firm-minded. We work very well together. Our administrative team at K&C is top notch. And time management!

Legal Elite 2024: Taxes/ Estates/ Trusts Q&A Elizabeth “Liz” Soc

2024 Q&A is .

Title: Founder and managing attorney

Other specialties: Business and corporate , commercial contracts and leasing, personal injury 

Education: Bachelor’s degree, George Mason University; law degree, Penn State Dickinson Law

Family: My beautiful, amazing and bada** parents, Khom Soc and Thanh H. Ly, as well as my sister, Soriya Walker, nephew, Ezra, and nieces, Micah, Mikaila and Joelle. I am a “bachelorette” currently seeking the right person to try and start a family of our own.

Career mentors: Too many to name them all but from Randy Ogg and Peter Grenier, the first lawyers I ever worked for as a paralegal at a “well-oiled machine” personal injury firm, to Jamel Rowe, a phenomenal domestic relations attorney with whom I worked side by side gaining tremendous courtroom and highly contested case experience, to Tonya Penn and Tori Bramble, fellow women of color law firm owners, to Andrea Bryk, another amazing woman warrior law firm owner, to retired Judge Lorraine Nordlund and Judge John Tran, who have kindly and graciously been litigation, general career and life mentors, I have been tremendously blessed.

TV show I’d recommend: “Life Below Zero,” a National Geographic documentary series about subsistence hunters making a living in remote parts of Alaska

How does being a second-generation American influence you as an attorney? Being a second-generation American informs my belief in the core American values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Navigating different home and societal cultures and expectations equipped me with more patience, empathy and compassion and also trained me as a cultural bridge, helping to find and/or create solutions to meet complex goals among diverse individuals that foster growth and mutual respect. 

What do you find most satisfying about estates and trusts work? Helping clients attain peace of mind by guiding them through the complexities of estate and succession planning, ensuring the future of their assets, businesses and families are protected and well cared for. I call it “happy law” because I help them to proactively avoid and/or solve conflicts and problems before they arise rather than duke it out after a conflict arises.

Inova breaks ground on Alexandria, Springfield hospitals

In late September, System broke ground on two new — one in and the other in , the start of a new phase for the Falls Church health system.

Both acute-care hospitals are expected to be completed in 2028, officials say. Alexandria, which will sit on the former Landmark Mall site, will replace the existing Inova Alexandria , and Inova Franconia-Springfield will join Inova HealthPlex as the health system’s first hospital in Springfield.

The new hospitals aim to update Inova’s offerings to patients, says Heather Russell, Inova’s vice president for eastern region development.

“Our current Alexandria hospital … is out-of-date and needs to be replaced. [This project provides] us an opportunity to rightsize our facilities,” Russell says. “It has really provided us an opportunity to look at the future of delivery and standardize our processes.”

Combined, the two projects are expected to cost $2 billion and span more than 1.4 million square feet, with Alexandria’s facility measuring in at 838,000 square feet. Initially, neither of the hospitals will be designated as trauma centers, but Inova will likely pursue trauma certification in the future, according to Russell.

In addition to the new hospital, Alexandria’s Inova campus will include a new cancer center, medical office building and garage, taking up about half of the former Landmark Mall’s 52-acre lot, which the health system is leasing from the City of Alexandria.

The other half of the site is being developed by real estate developer Foulger Pratt into WestEnd Alexandria, a retail and residential community.

“[The hospital complex] will very much be a sort of town center with a medical theme, because you’re going to have this acute-care hospital and cancer center as the anchor,” says Stephanie Landrum, president and CEO of the Alexandria Partnership.

Inova’s plans for Springfield are more straightforward. The health system purchased the site years earlier and is planning to include a hospital, medical office building and garage there, according to Tom McDuffie, president of Inova Realty, the health system’s real estate branch.

In November, Inova is also set to open a health center near Potomac Yard and National Landing, a facility that will include an emergency room, outpatient services, doctors’ offices and an ambulatory surgery center.   

Legal Elite 2024: Young Lawyer Q&A Jamie Wood

Elite 2024 Q&A is .

Title: Associate attorney

Legal specialties: Commercial litigation, and special investigations, regulatory compliance

Education: Bachelor’s degree in psychology, University of Texas at Austin; degree, University of Richmond

Family: I live in Floyd with my husband, Alex Wood, who works as a dentist at a local community health center, and our beagle, Ruby.

Career mentors: I feel lucky to have many mentors across my career so far. In law school, Professors Rachel Suddarth and Carl Tobias provided valuable perspective and encouragement as I explored different career paths. I learned so much during my year clerking with Judge Thomas Cullen through his mentorship and example. Now, at Woods Rogers, I work alongside so many incredible mentors, like Ben Rottenborn, Patice Holland, Mike Hastings, Chip Casola and Justin Simmons, who have all given me great guidance, opportunity and trust, for which I am grateful.

Favorite place you’ve traveled: This is a tie between Costa Rica and Peru for me. I traveled to Costa Rica as a high schooler and then had the pleasure of taking a group of high schoolers back to Costa Rica in my former life as a teacher. I traveled to Peru in college with a good friend and we completed the Inca trail hike to Machu Picchu!

Bingeworthy TV show: I am generally terrible at keeping up with new shows and prefer to rewatch my old favorites. For example, I love rewatching “Gilmore Girls” each fall.

What do you do for fun outside of work? I love to do just about anything outside. We live in a great area for kayaking and hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I have been attempting to teach myself piano too, but that is a work in progress.

What was the most valuable experience you had during law school, and how does it affect your work today? My judicial internships and externships were some of the most valuable experiences that I had during law school. They provided a great opportunity to see how different attorneys practice, confront various legal questions, and engage with the judges and my fellow interns to analyze legal issues.

Legal Elite 2024: Construction Law Q&A Juanita F. Ferguson

2024 Q&A is .

Title: Shareholder

Other specialties: Commercial and real estate litigation

Education: Bachelor’s degree in business administration, University of Michigan; degree, George Washington University

Family: A large extended family throughout the District of Columbia and the Tidewater area

Career mentors: Too many to name. They all provided me with opportunities to get out of my comfort zone and encouraged me to simultaneously take what I do seriously and remain humble.

Your dream client: One who takes my advice and trusts that I am working in [his or her] best [interest].

Bingeworthy TV show: “Yellowstone” or “The Wire”

Did Virginia banning pay-if-paid clauses impact your practice? Yes. There was definitely an increased need for amending contracts and educating clients about contract negotiations.

What has your work taught you about relationships? The importance of trusting others, being able to work collaboratively, understanding that there is more than one way to accomplish a goal, acceptance and being able to give and receive support.

Will the new presidential administration impact law?  Absolutely, depending on the regulations that will undoubtedly be enacted or removed, policies will be implemented that will affect the agreements [between] contractors and owners …  Those agreements will have a direct [impact] on who can be hired to work on projects as well as benefits that must be offered to construction workers. Those issues will increase the need for counsel to ensure that parties appreciate what may be a very different landscape under which construction occurs in the United States.

Appalachian Power plans small nuclear reactor in Campbell

, an subsidiary of American Electric which serves more than one million customers in Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee, announced plans Nov. 14 to bring a small modular () project to .

The company, which has its headquarters in Charleston, West Virginia, has identified a potential site for the project on property it already owns in Joshua Falls outside . A 765-kilovolt substation is already located at Joshua Falls and nearby roads are adequate to support moving equipment to the site, according to Appalachian Power.

“Advanced nuclear power is at the heart of Virginia’s All-American, All-of-the Above Energy Plan, a plan that prioritizes abundant, reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean power to fuel our thriving and growing economy,” Gov. Glenn Youngkin stated in an Appalachian Power news release. “I am grateful that Appalachian Power is taking this next step to support Virginia’s nuclear future.”

SMRs are designed to generate up to 300 megawatts per unit, about one-third the capacity of conventional nuclear reactors, according to the International Atomic Energy Association. As of now, only two SMRs are in operation — one in Russia and the other in China.

In 2022, Youngkin announced Virginia would build a SMR within a decade. The next year, the governor and the General Assembly created the Virginia Power Innovation Fund, which provides $4 million for research and development of innovative energy technologies.

“Appalachian Power is committed to generating clean, always-on power to meet Virginia’s future demand,” Appalachian Power President and CEO Aaron Walker said in a release. “We are grateful to the Virginia General Assembly and Gov. Youngkin for embracing SMR technology. This announcement would not have been possible without their forward-thinking support.”

In October, Amazon.com and Dominion Energy Virginia entered into an agreement to explore development of small modular nuclear reactors at North Anna Power Station in Louisa County.

Appalachian Power plans to file an application with the Virginia State Corporation Commission in spring 2025. The company intends to apply for the U.S. Department of Energy’s $900 million grant program that is designed to accelerate the deployment of SMRs.

The utility serves about 550,000 customers in an 11,000 square-mile territory in central and southwestern Virginia. It will hold a community open house to discuss the project on Dec. 5 at the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance.
