A highly regarded litigation firm with a strong construction practice is seeking a Construction Litigation Attorney with mechanics lien experience to join its team in St. Louis . This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys working directly with contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and property owners to resolve payment disputes on construction projects.
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.
What You'll Work On
This role focuses heavily on mechanics lien strategy, enforcement, and litigation. Attorneys in the group help clients protect their right to payment while navigating the strict statutory requirements that govern lien claims.
Typical matters include:

Advising clients on lien perfection and statutory compliance
Handling lien foreclosure actions
Representing property owners in lien challenges and removal
Managing payment bond claims on public and private projects
Litigating construction contract and payment disputes

Has 5+ years of litigation experience, ideally involving mechanics liens
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
Attorneys with construction litigation, creditor rights, or commercial litigation experience who are interested in developing deeper expertise in mechanics lien law are encouraged to apply.
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.
