I grew up in a construction family, worked as a field engineer/superintendent, and have been involved in construction my entire life.For the past 36 years I have maintained a legal practice focusing entirely upon construction law representing stakeholders involved in every facet of the industry. Having construction in my blood, I provide common sense, cost effective, business solutions for clients. My experience crosses all sectors of the industry including: POWER (nuclear, fossil, renewables); OIL & GAS (midstream, downstream); CHEMICALS (production, processing); INDUSTRIAL (boilers, tanks,); SEWER & WATER (treatment, storage); INFRASTRUCTURE (locks, dams, tunnels, bridges); ENVIRONMENTAL (land, air, water); TRANSPORTATION (airports, highways, ITS, subways); UTILITIES (transmission, distribution); INSTITUTIONAL (courts, jails, museums, colleges); MILITARY (bases, barracks,); HEALTH (hospitals, extended care); SPORTS (stadiums, arenas, Olympic venues); ENTERTAINMENT (resorts, casinos, theme parks); TECHNOLOGY (data centers, clean rooms); COMMERCIAL (office buildings, convention centers); HOUSING (condos, apartments, hotels), and other projects. Most of my time is devoted to counseling clients in resolving problems and avoiding disputes.When conflict cannot be avoided, I have counseled clients through more than 50 multi-million dollar disputes, involving claims valued in excess of $3 billion dollars, including acceleration, bidding, changes, defects, delays, economic waste, force majeure, HS&E, inefficiency, liens, modularization, pricing, suspensions, terminations, type I & II conditions, and other disputes. Using knowledge gained from a lifetime of experience, I frequently draft and negotiate contracts to support the project delivery methods used throughout the industry including: P3, EPC(M)(I), FEL(0-3), FEED, DB, CM, GMP, FDBOM, DBB and other delivery methods. I am a senior partner in the Construction Practice Group at Taylor English.
