Project teams routinely work with Jesse on “live” construction matters.

Jesse understands how industry relationships operate under multiple project delivery methods, including design-bid-build, design-build, CM/GC and other contract bases. Accordingly, construction professionals work with Jesse to define strategies that balance immediate project interests with long-term business goals.
When required, Jesse also partners with construction companies to advance or defend claims in litigation and arbitration.
