Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani Partner Brian Schneider and Associate Timothy Lyle served as contributing authors on two Practical Law Q&A guides on Virginia civil litigation, published by Thomson Reuters.
“Commencing an Action: Virginia” addresses the requirements for drafting and filing initiating papers, serving process, and amending a complaint in Virginia. “Discovery and Issuing Discovery Subpoenas: Virginia” covers Virginia laws and rules governing discovery subpoenas, including available types, drafting and service requirements, and enforcement methods. Using Westlaw‘s Q&A tool, state law issues can be compared across multiple jurisdictions.
Schneider focuses his practice on complex civil litigation, with particular emphasis on product liability, toxic torts, maritime law, and appellate advocacy. For more than two decades, he has represented manufacturers, shipyards, vessel owners, transportation companies, and other corporate defendants in high-exposure litigation in state and federal courts throughout the country.
Lyle focuses his practice on estate and trust litigation, community association law, construction, real estate, and general civil litigation. His estate and trust litigation practice includes will and trust disputes, such as challenges to the validity of estate planning documents, fiduciary duty conflicts, and complex probate matters.
