Here is a brief description of their company from the VLP web site:

Powered by a sophisticated digital infrastructure, VLP eliminates costly physical offices and minimizes environmental impact, while significantly lowering administrative costs and overhead.

The founders are Andrea Chavez, Craig Johnson, and RoseAnn Rotandaro, who joined together to create this service after highly successful careers at two of Silicon Valley’s top technology-focused law firms, Venture Law Group and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.

For inquiries about Virtual Law Partners please contact David Jargiello or Andrea Chavez.

It’s great to have their support and participation here in New Mexico.
