About 75 people attended the reception last Thursday, including McGuireWoods staff attorneys and some of their Northern Virginia clients, along with Lorton Arts Foundation Board of Directors gathered to unveil the sign that will mark the McGuireWoods Gallery. Mr. Richard Hausler, Chairman of the Lorton Arts Foundation Board of Directors, welcomed guests and expressed the heart-felt thanks of the Foundation for the service and guidance of such a talented team of attorneys. Mr. Riegle spoke on behalf of the McGuireWoods team, speaking of the firm’s commitment to the nonprofit community, as well as their “paying” clients.
