Virginia Lawyers Weekly Names Elbert Lin a 2023 Go To Appellate Lawyer

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce that partner Elbert Lin has been honored by Virginia Lawyers Weekly as one of 20 “Go To Lawyers” for appellate law in the Commonwealth.

VLW selected the honorees using six criteria, including expertise in their field, familiarity with the nuances of relevant case law, statutes and regulations, their ability to think creatively and identify all options for a client, and their demonstrated track record of success. 

The former Solicitor General of West Virginia, Lin chairs the firm’s Issues and Appeals practice. He has been on the front lines of many precedent-setting cases in appellate courts across the country, including an “unprecedented” US Supreme Court victory described as “the court’s most severe rebuke of a president” since the Truman administration. With experience in the private sector and multiple branches of government, Lin’s practice has spanned a wide range of issues, including major questions of constitutional and administrative law at the federal and state levels. He has argued more than fifty cases in state and federal appellate courts, including before the US Supreme Court and several en banc courts of appeals.
