Dylan also serves as Senior Vice President, Government Relations with Willcox Savage Consulting, LLC., where he provides strategic counsel to businesses and trade associations on utilizing the legislative, regulatory, and administrative processes to advance their goals.
Previously, Dylan served as Chief of Staff to a member of the Virginia Senate. Today, he advises clients in areas such as energy, healthcare, transportation, gaming, heavy construction, procurements, and public employees.
In less than 10 years’ time, Dylan helped to secure classified state employees over 33% in net pay increases, valued at over $5 billion per year, through the Virginia budget process.
Dylan also helped to craft the legislative framework to bring transportation network companies, like Uber and Lyft, to Virginia.

Dylan coordinated the 2025 Attorney General Candidates’ Debate on behalf of the Virginia State Bar making it accessible to the public for the first time in Commonwealth history. In orchestrating the event, Bishop established debate protocols, curated questions for the moderator, and served as the primary liaison among both campaign teams, the University of Richmond, and the Virginia State Bar.
To me, being Structured for Solutions means refusing to accept limitations and instead designing thoughtful, strategic pathways toward progress. In my work, this principle translates to identifying problems not only within existing frameworks but also questioning whether those frameworks themselves need to evolve. Attorneys often assume they must operate within the fixed boundaries of the law, but, by understanding legislative and regulatory processes, we can structure creative, evidence-based solutions that literally change those boundaries. My approach is both an art and a science, involving rigorous analysis of an issue, mapping the procedural landscape, developing trusted relationships, building coalitions, and straight-forward communication to turn innovative ideas into actionable change. In short, Structured for Solutions is about marrying disciplined structure with creative advocacy—using legal and legislative tools to transform challenges into opportunities for our clients and communities.
