With a vision for the big picture and ability to keep things in perspective, I litigate complex cases in the areas of construction and government contract disputes, toxic tort and pharmaceutical products defense, policyholder-side insurance coverage litigation, and environmental litigation. For more than two decades, I have represented major construction and engineering firms and government contractors in complex construction litigation, contract disputes, bid protests, requests for equitable adjustment, and claims.In the pharmaceutical and toxic tort areas, I have worked on major post-Daubert federal and state court cases and have extensive experience in presenting and defending against complex scientific proofs.I have successfully pursued insurance coverage on behalf of diverse corporate policyholders for mass-product liability exposures (involving claims by individuals, putative classes, and the United States and Canadian governments), environmental liability, and asbestos liability. My practice also includes defending clients against CERCLA, RCRA, natural resource damage, and state environmental and public nuisance claims arising from industrial operations and waste disposal.

  Regarded for creative solutions and winning strategies, I'm not afraid to take an unorthodox approach to a case where it serves my clients’ interests. Outside of working collegially with a smart team and mentoring younger lawyers, what I appreciate most about practicing law is vindicating my client’s position through the fine arts of logic and persuasion. Defending government and corporate clients in litigation and trials, including both state and federal multi-district litigation, my areas of focus includes: - construction and government contract disputes- toxic tort and pharmaceutical products defense- policyholder-side insurance coverage litigation- environmental litigation
