On February 3, Virginia Lutheran Homes, owners and operators of Brandon Oaks Life Plan Community, welcomed Charles L. Downs, Jr. to their staff as Corporate Counsel.
Charles is a seasoned attorney who has practiced law in Virginia for over 20 years. Over the years, Charles has focused his practice on health law and the representation of health care providers and institutions in various legal matters.
Most recently, Charles was a partner at the Roanoke office of Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith, LLP, an AMLaw100 law firm with offices across the United States.
“With the business of healthcare becoming more complex, we knew it was the right time to add corporate counsel to our staff, as many other healthcare organizations have done over the past few years,” said Virginia Lutheran Homes’ President and CEO, Heather Neff. “We are so fortunate that Charles comes to us with the background in healthcare law and an appreciation for our mission,” Neff added.
