Virginia Corporate Counsel Application Processing
Upon receipt of your completed application, the Board will determine that you have established, by satisfactory evidence, that you meet the minimum requirements of Rule 1A:5 and issue a Provisional Certificate.
The Board may require you to appear personally before the Board, the Character and Fitness Committee of the Board, or a member of either the Board or the Committee and furnish such additional information as may be required.
Processing your Virginia Corporate Counsel, Part I application may take six (6) months from the date your complete application package is received by our office. Please remember that these applications are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Incomplete applications will not be processed until all required documents are received.
If the Board determines you are qualified to be issued a Virginia Corporate Counsel Certificate, Part I, the Board shall approve your application and notify you of its decision.
