The firm has a steady pipeline of construction-related work and represents clients across the industry in matters involving mechanics liens, bond claims, and construction contract disputes.

Is comfortable navigating statutory lien requirements and deadlines
Enjoys working closely with construction industry clients
Has strong writing, analytical, and litigation skills
Is licensed in Missouri and Illinois, or is willing to obtain admission in the additional jurisdiction

Why Consider This Opportunity
Active construction litigation practice with strong demand for mechanics lien work
Opportunity to develop niche expertise in construction payment disputes
Supportive litigation team with strong mentorship
Hybrid work flexibility
Competitive compensation and benefits
This is an excellent opportunity for a litigation attorney who wants to build a long-term practice representing construction industry clients in complex payment disputes and lien enforcement matters.
