The Government Relations Practice Group provides a broad range of legal services to governmental entities and public officials.  The firm’s clients include local governments, authorities, agencies and other political subdivisions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Due to our attorneys’ breadth and depth of experience in the government relations field, JBWK has developed and maintained a number of long-standing relationships with local governmental entities.  For over a half century, the firm has served as general counsel for the Peninsula Airport Commission (PAC).  During this time, the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (formerly Patrick Henry Airport) has grown from its beginning after World War II to its status today as a major East Coast airport serving many airlines and thousands of passengers each month.

Another half-century client of the firm is the Hampton Roads Sanitary District Commission (HRSD), the political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia charged with providing sanitary sewer service throughout the entire Hampton Roads area.  Once again, our attorneys have worked with HRSD for over 50 years, providing a variety of legal assistance.

With this core of experience, the firm has also attracted the following representative clients:

  • Industrial Development Authority of the City of Newport News
  • Economic Development Authority of the City of Newport News
  • Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority
