"Adam E. Richards joins Fox Rothschild in Miami as a partner in the Construction Practice, bringing experience in transactional and dispute-side construction matters."
Board Certified in Construction Law by The Florida Bar, Richards advises clients across the full lifecycle of development and construction matters, from drafting and negotiating complex project agreements and serving as project counsel to resolving disputes through litigation, arbitration and pre-suit strategies. He practices in construction law and will join Fox Rothschild as a partner; he was previously a partner at Dickinson Wright.
Richards represents clients in a broad range of construction-related matters, including contract drafting, project consultation, delay claims, mechanics’ liens, bond claims, licensure issues, insurance recovery and construction defect disputes, as well as risk transfer and indemnity matters.
