Practice Areas

Jason Richey’s legal practice is concentrated in the areas of dispute resolution with an emphasis on the construction and engineering industry, complex commercial disputes, energy disputes, and state and local bid protests. For almost a quarter century, Jason has focused his energy on winning litigations, arbitrations, and mediations for his clients. During this time, he has worked on local engagements as well as matters in over 35 different states, Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and South America representing companies both large and small.

Construction and Engineering

Jason has worked on disputes and contracts involving multimillion and billion dollar construction projects, including material handling systems, renewables (wind and solar), petrochemical, methane, LNG, polypropylene, polyethylene (low and high density), ammonia and urea plants, transportation (rail, road and air), power generation (including coal fired power plants), health care, civil construction, airports, and sewage treatment plants.

Bid Protests

Jason has a unique focus on bid protest related to state and local government contracts throughout the country. Perhaps no practitioner in the country has been involved in handling more bid protests in as many jurisdictions as Jason and his team.

Complex Commercial

Jason's experience in commercial litigation has occurred through his work in representing World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., PPG Industries, Inc., and other commercial clients. This work has involved dealing with breach of contract, real estate, Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (sale of goods), civil rights, tort, consumer protection act, employment, defamation, and wrongful death litigations and arbitrations.

Energy

Additionally, he has been involved in disputes regarding oil and gas pipelines, off shore oil and gas rigs (FPSOs), welding issues, pipelines, mid-stream processing, and the supply of line heaters and separators.

Above all else, Jason, a former NCAA wrestler, prides himself on his (i) hard work ethic, (ii) ability to provide cost effective legal services to clients no matter how small or large the legal matter, and (iii) overall determination to bring his clients’ legal matters to a successful conclusion.
