Partners for Your Business and Intellectual Property Needs

Our firm was founded by Tom Dunlap and Dan Grubb, both U.S. Army Cavalry officers who had worked together as partners at a small commercial litigation and bankruptcy firm in Virginia. Law is a second career for both Tom and Dan. Mr. Dunlap worked on Wall Street in institutional custodies for a number of companies including Chase, N.A., PaineWebber and Bank of New York and has a master's degree in Biotechnology. Dan Grubb, with a master’s degree in journalism, was the newsroom manager and television anchorman for the ABC news network in Anchorage, Alaska for more than 10 years.

Jeffrey Weaver, a law school classmate of both Mr. Dunlap and Mr. Grubb, was invited to join the firm in 2004, bringing his MBA and years of corporate law experience from the 100-plus attorney firm he left behind. Mr. Weaver brought with him the business and legal skills to enable the Dunlap, Grubb & Weaver, PLLC to all manner of both large and small businesses.

DGW's current and past attorneys have years of experience at large banks, such as JP Morgan Chase and the Bank of New York, lobbying firms and large law firms such as Wiley Rein, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky & Popeo, Hunton & Williams, Troutman Sanders, and Hill Ward & Henderson.  Our attorneys made the deliberate choice to leave these “mega-firms” to focus on and enhance our specialty boutique practice, where we have an increased ability to serve each client on a personal basis while providing legal services of the highest caliber.

Today, with multiple offices and a number of affiliated attorneys and clients around the world, Dunlap, Grubb & Weaver, PLLC maintains an aggressive, strong and focused team of intellectual property, litigation, business and insolvency lawyers who are available to meet the wide range of our clients’ needs, on their schedules.
