Sara Abbott McEown

Practice Areas

Sara McEown’s practice focuses on the transactional and dispute resolution aspects of construction law. She works with clients in all phases of the design and construction process with an emphasis on contract drafting and negotiation from the early stages of project concept, dispute avoidance during construction, field management, and administration, project close-out, and dispute resolution. When litigation is unavoidable, Sara has over a decade of experience trying construction cases to verdict and through appeal, as well as real estate and commercial business disputes.

Sara’s legal acumen is complemented by her field experience with a large commercial general contractor prior to law school and Bachelor of Science in Construction Science from Texas A&M University. This distinctive combination means that Sara understands the business impacts behind the issues that arise before, during, and after a project. Sara provides support industry-wide – including owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and sureties – in all aspects of construction and development. Sara focuses on getting to know her clients’ businesses and providing counsel that meets their specific needs. Prior to starting her own firm, Sara was a partner with an Am Law-rated law firm, and a partner at a Chambers-ranked construction boutique firm.
