Richmond Spotlight: Stephen M. Faraci, Sr.

A veteran trial lawyer and go-to business advisor, Steve Faraci has over 25 years of experience as a business litigator. A Senior Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, he has extensive experience as lead counsel on trials and appeals in federal and state courts, in arbitration forums and before federal and state administrative agencies.
 
“Litigation has changed dramatically over the course of my career, but the fundamentals haven't,” said Mr. Faraci. “At the end of the day, it's still about one lawyer standing up and telling a compelling story to a decision-maker. When a client entrusts me with that responsibility, it is—will always be—one of the great privileges of my professional career."
 
Clients turn to Mr. Faraci for legal and strategic guidance on matters across a wide range of matters and industries, including contract, real estate and construction disputes, and an array of intellectual property matters. He is equally experienced in shareholder and partnership litigation, fiduciary-duty claims and fraud cases.
 
Mr. Faraci has earned recognition from Virginia Lawyers Weekly as a "Go To" Business Litigation Lawyer and as “Legal Elite” in Civil Litigation by Virginia Business Magazine. He is regularly recognized in Best Lawyers in America and Virginia Super Lawyers. He serves Whiteford as both Head of Business Litigation and a member of its Executive Board.
