Regulatory and government law for healthcare providers, businesses, veterans, and nonprofits. Connor brings firsthand experience inside the industries and agencies he handles.
FDA compliance, wholesale drug distributor licensing, DSCSA, DEA registration, controlled substance programs, in-office dispensing, and drug supply chain law. Connor built a 50-state pharmaceutical distribution operation and passed FDA inspection firsthand. This is not textbook knowledge.
Employment agreements, non-compete analysis under Tennessee law, compensation structure review, malpractice tail coverage, partnership buy-ins, and restrictive covenant negotiation for physicians, PAs, NPs, and allied health providers. Most physicians sign agreements without understanding what they are giving up.
VA disability claims, appeals, ratings, and filings. Villas Law is officially accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and is authorized to represent veteran clients in all 50 states. The VA should not be another battle for people who have already served.
501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) formation, IRS exempt-status planning, governance structure, advocacy activity, lobbying disclosure compliance, and political activity rules. Whether you are launching a charity, a social welfare organization, or a PAC, the structure matters.
Legislative strategy, regulatory advocacy, and government agency interface. Grounded in direct experience advising lawmakers at the state and federal level. Connor understands how bills actually move, how agencies respond, and how to get things done inside systems that most people find impenetrable.
Federal trademark registration, USPTO proceedings, office action responses, and brand protection strategy. Trademark law is federal agency work from filing through enforcement. Available to clients in all 50 states.
Representation before the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners and other professional licensing boards. Complaint response, investigations, contested hearings, consent orders, and license reinstatement. Your license is your livelihood.
Entity structuring for medical practices, group formation, practice acquisitions and buy-outs, joint ventures, and operating agreements. Getting the structure right from the start prevents problems that are expensive to fix later.
Licensing applications, agency investigations, contested hearings, judicial review of government action, and challenges to administrative decisions across federal and Tennessee state agencies.
Entity formation, operating agreements, and regulatory compliance programs for businesses in regulated industries. Practical counsel that accounts for both the legal and operational realities of how businesses actually work.
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and business succession planning for business owners, healthcare professionals, and veterans and their families. Plain-language planning that actually gets done.
Multistate practice compliance, Interstate Medical Licensure Compact navigation, telehealth regulatory structure, and licensing strategy for providers expanding across state lines. Telehealth created regulatory obligations most providers do not know they have.
Every client at Villas Law works directly with Connor. There are no handoffs, no associates fielding your calls, and no intermediaries between you and the attorney handling your matter.
Connor approaches every engagement with a straightforward communication style and a focus on practical outcomes. His clients appreciate his responsiveness, loyalty, and unflinching honesty qualities that are increasingly rare.
Where the matter fits, flat-fee arrangements are available for contract reviews, trademark filings, business formation, and estate planning.
Under federal law governing federal program representation, Villas Law is permitted to represent clients in all 50 states for Veterans Affairs Disability Law and Trademark and Copyright Law, regardless of state bar admission.
