Melvin E. Tull III

I am the founder and managing partner of Tull Law, PLC, a Richmond-area business law firm focused on mergers and acquisitions, commercial transactions and contracts, corporate governance, fractional general counsel services, and nonprofit law.

Before founding Tull Law, I was an M&A partner with Hunton & Williams LLP, a national law firm, and later served as General Counsel of both a for-profit company and a nonprofit trade association. As Senior Vice President for Strategic Business Development and General Counsel of Bankers Insurance, I helped lead a roll-up acquisition strategy that completed more than 20 acquisitions and more than doubled the company’s revenue. Earlier in my career, I passed the CPA exam and worked as a consultant with Arthur Andersen.

That combination of law firm, in-house, executive, and financial experience shapes how I advise clients today. I work directly with business owners, executives, boards, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit leaders on acquisitions and sales, important commercial agreements, corporate governance, compliance, and ongoing legal matters.

I founded Tull Law because I believe business clients benefit from direct access to experienced senior counsel who understands both the legal issues and the business considerations behind them. My goal is to understand each client’s objectives, priorities, and tolerance for risk and to provide practical legal advice that helps the client make sound decisions and accomplish its business goals.
