Ben Ader

Ben Ader is a partner at Tate Bywater in Vienna, Virginia, with a practice focused on commercial litigation, breach of contract litigation, real estate and business transactions, and estate administration. He represents contractors and businesses in contract disputes, handles real estate litigation and estate and trust disputes, and advises commercial landlords on acquisitions and leasing. He provides companies with internal corporate counsel for acquisition and expansion matters.

Ben earned his Juris Doctor from William and Mary Law School and his Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University. His legal education is reinforced by experience in court, government, and private practice settings. He served as a judicial law clerk in the Prince William County Circuit Court and completed legal internships with the James City County Attorney’s Office and the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

Ben’s practice combines litigation and transactional work. In disputes, he addresses contract obligations, real estate rights, estate and trust issues, and other commercial conflicts. In transactional matters, he works with commercial landlords through acquisitions and leasing and advises companies considering growth or expansion. His background in litigation gives him a practical perspective when reviewing business arrangements that can later become the subject of contested claims.

Ben Ader is admitted to practice in Virginia and the District of Columbia. His work reflects a broad civil and business practice that connects courtroom advocacy with preventive legal planning. By handling contract disputes, real estate matters, business transactions, estate administration, and corporate counseling, he helps clients address immediate conflicts while keeping attention on the agreements, property interests, and business decisions that shape longer-term legal risk.
