More About Wendy

Clients involved in the construction process need effective legal counsel to negotiate and implement contract terms that best protect their interests against those of other stakeholders involved in the construction project. Wendy prepares, negotiates, and assists with the implementation of construction contracts and other related agreements for entities involved with or impacted by construction projects. Wendy also advises clients about potential claim matters and other disputes arising during the construction process, so they may be effectively resolved, prosecuted, or defended.

Wendy focuses on providing cost-effective and efficient legal services. She developed uniquely tailored form contracts as the basis for most construction projects with which her clients are involved. These form contracts are especially beneficial for smaller-value projects for her condominium and cooperative apartment clients, because they help to minimize the amount of legal fees incurred to prepare and negotiate the contracts for these projects. Wendy also has significant experience preparing and negotiating construction access license agreements, representing both licensees and licensors, as well as in-court proceedings seeking (or ensuring reasonable terms for) such access.

Wendy began her legal career as a litigator representing government-entity owners in large-scale disputes against general contractors and sureties. After nearly two decades in private practice, Wendy taught construction contract law and construction communications in an undergraduate engineering and construction management program for eight years. There she was able to teach future construction professionals by applying details from real-world construction projects to demonstrate the meaning and application of construction contract provisions, and to illustrate how to effectively document challenges arising on construction projects. Wendy also taught workshops to construction professionals on a wide variety of construction law topics. She leverages her in-depth knowledge of construction contract provisions and extensive litigation experience to guide clients through the entire construction process, from contract drafting, to project counseling, to claims analysis, through dispute resolution.
