Timothy Pierce

Mr. Pierce is the managing partner and one of the founders of our firm.

Mr. Pierce’s practice almost exclusively involves legal matters in the construction industry. He works with construction industry clients from the inception of a project and the formation of contracts to the resolution of claims in litigation. As an experienced litigator, Mr. Pierce looks for unique solutions to construction disputes to achieve solutions that are efficient and cost effective for his clients.

Mr. Pierce has had extensive trial experience in construction matters having tried 17 cases to verdict and having completed a similar number of arbitration hearings. The trials range in length from 3 to 12 weeks and include two verdicts in favor of his clients in excess of $30 million. One such verdict in 2005 resulted in a $37 million judgment on behalf of a contractor on a power plant project. The case was one of the top ten California jury trial verdicts in 2005. In 2006, Mr. Pierce successfully defended a contractor in a false claims case by the City of Los Angeles in which a unanimous jury found in favor of his client. The client also recovered its attorneys’ fees under the California False Claims Act.
