Law360 Names Troutman Sanders Partner Virginia Bell Flynn a Rising Star in Consumer Protection Law
RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia Bell Flynn, a partner in Troutman Sanders’ nationally-recognized Consumer Financial Services practice, has received a 2019 Law360 Rising Star award honoring her career accomplishments in consumer protection law. Flynn was selected from more than 1,300 nominees and named to the winner’s list of “175 attorneys under 40 whose legal accomplishments transcend their age.” Law360 will publish a feature on Flynn next month.
“What a privilege and an honor to be named among Law360’s Rising Stars for consumer protection law,” Flynn said. “I look forward to continuing to partner with my clients and provide the best service Troutman Sanders is known for.”
Flynn represents clients in federal and state court, both at the trial and appellate level in the areas of complex litigation, financial services litigation, and managed healthcare litigation in over 21 states nationwide. As a result of new legal developments in the financial services industry, she increasingly counsels clients to ensure they comply with the myriad of growing laws in the consumer law and financial services fields, with a particular emphasis on the many “alphabet soup” federal consumer protection statutes. She also is a member of Troutman Sanders’ Women’s Leadership & Growth Network and the firm’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee.
“In my estimation, Virginia brings two unique and too often hard-to-find qualities to the table: First, she cares deeply about understanding not just the legal implications of the advice she gives her clients, but also operational and business implications. Second, she is witty and engaging and it is an actual pleasure to speak with her. The combination of these two qualities makes Virginia a force to be reckoned with, as well as a valued counselor,” said Kristen Miller, Vice President and General Counsel of Global Lending Services, in Flynn’s award nomination.
“Virginia is wise beyond her years,” added Pamela Williams, Senior Vice President & Counsel at Anthem, Inc. “She is obviously a talented and smart lawyer but it is her client-based skills that differentiate her from the pack. She is a valuable member of our Troutman team and has contributed greatly to our success since day one.”
Troutman Sanders’ Consumer Financial Services practice is a two-time winner of Law360’s Consumer Protection Practice Group of the Year Award, recognized for its excellence in representing and advising clients with respect to high-stakes litigation and regulatory matters, as well as compliance issues. Last year, Partner Tim St. George received Law360’s Consumer Protection Rising Star Award.
Troutman Sanders’ trial attorneys have litigated thousands of individual and class action lawsuits in the consumer protection area. The firm regularly represents national, regional and local clients in litigation and provides compliance advice in the areas of consumer credit and consumer protection.
