Moore & Van Allen (MVA) has entered into a lease for new office space in Washington, D.C., establishing the firm’s fifth office and expanding its presence in one of the nation’s most important regulatory and business centers. This marks the firm’s second office outside the Carolinas, following the recent opening of our Atlanta office. 

“In the past year, we have expanded our physical footprint to address growing client demand. We announced a lease for space in a new building in Charlotte, opened our first office outside the Carolinas in Atlanta and are set to open Washington, D.C., this fall,” said Thomas L. Mitchell, Chair and Managing Partner of Moore & Van Allen. “We have served clients in D.C. for years, and establishing a dedicated office allows us to be even closer to our clients, the agencies and stakeholders they interact with, and the opportunities emerging in this market.”
