Matthew Moore and Kyle J. Koppenhaver, attorneys at Shulman Rogers, will lead this informational session designed to educate members about changes to state laws and regulations affecting commercial and multifamily properties. New laws adopted during this year’s Virginia General Assembly session will take effect on July 1. The seminar will provide members with valuable information on these legislative changes and provide a forum for questions and answers about the changing legal landscape in Virginia.
