Jones Day

Jones Day advises on complex construction projects and is ‘excellent’ at handling ’large and sophisticated disputes’. The practice is headed by Los Angeles’ Daniel McMillan, who has both transactional and trial expertise, and Dallas’ Roy Powell, who has litigated and arbitrated major infrastructure and energy disputes. New York’s ‘highly intelligent and responsive’ recent joiner Lawrence Dany focuses on dispute avoidance – he mitigates conflict risks through drafting solid design-build and EPC agreements. In Los Angeles, Michael McCauley focuses on disputes in the renewable energy sector, including wind farms and battery storage projects. Washington DC’s Christopher Thatch and Pittsburgh’s Tarek Abdalla also have extensive project experience in the public and private sectors; these include power plants, pipelines and infrastructure builds. Further dispute talent emanates from the Atlanta office, where Joseph Finley advises on claims concerning schedule delays, cost overruns, and defective design, whereas in Dallas, Peter Laun is consulted on insurance recovery, contracts, and securities.
