The Role:

• Represent domestic and international clients in complex construction and commercial disputes.
• Lead and manage all phases of litigation and arbitration, including high-stakes discovery and trial preparation.
• Develop focused, creative strategies for cases that have already escalated or reached a critical inflection point.
• Advise on change order disputes, construction trust funds, and contract law within the construction industry.
