Key Responsibilities

  • Review, draft, and negotiate construction‑related agreements (owner contracts, subcontracts, POs, vendor agreements).

  • Provide clear, risk‑based legal guidance to internal stakeholders on contractual obligations and risk allocation.

  • Ensure contract compliance with company standards, applicable laws, industry best practices, and insurance requirements.

  • Advise on legal issues throughout all phases of construction: bidding, execution, project completion, and closeout.

  • Provide guidance on change order disputes, delay claims, and potential risk exposures.

  • Represent or oversee representation in all commercial and construction litigation, arbitration, and bond/insurance claims.

  • Initiate and defend collection actions.

  • Manage and coordinate outside counsel.

  • Support development of the company’s business plan and strategic initiatives.

  • Advise the CEO and Board of Directors on legal matters impacting projects and operations.

  • Assist Corporate Counsel with governance, HR, and compliance matters.

 

Qualifications & Experience

  • J.D. from an accredited law school.

  • Licensed to practice law in Maryland.

  • Minimum 10 years of legal experience, including 5+ years representing clients in the commercial contracting or construction industry.

  • Strong background in mediation, arbitration, and trial work.

  • Ability to read and interpret construction plans, specifications, and mechanical contracting documents.

  • Experience negotiating change orders, delay claims, and complex construction disputes.

  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to coordinate across multiple departments.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel.

  • Ability to lead, influence, and enforce corporate policies and procedures.
