Construction Partner
CurrentServing lenders, owners, contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, industrial equipment manufacturers and technology innovators, I provide complete “cradle to grave” legal services on construction projects. My counsel often pertains to project financing, prime contract development and negotiations, downstream construction contracting, claims avoidance/preparations, risk mitigation and many ancillary issues related to domestic and international construction projects.Through various dispute resolution actions, I have mediated, arbitrated and/or litigated disputes arising from contractual breach, construction defects, delay and extended construction, mechanic’s liens and foreclosure actions on construction projects and labor disputes.The balance of my practice revolves around merging the increasingly important field of energy sustainability and climate change with pertinent regulations in the construction industry. Locally, nationally and internationally, I handle a broad array of industrial projects. These projects generally include future energy initiatives such as co-generation power plants, ethanol production facilities, simple and combined cycle power plants, nuclear power plants, coal plants, hydro power generation stations and diesel power generation facilities.For numerous energy contracts and for major architectural and engineering firms, I develop and negotiate prime and downstream contracts involving power generation and renewable fuel in various formats. These formats include EPC, EPT, GC, EPCm, trade, services, architectural and owner’s engineer contracts in all available structures.
