Andrew J. Donivan focuses his practice on construction law, representing owners, design professionals, and contractors in transactional matters and dispute resolution in connection with projects across the country, including commercial and residential skyscrapers, airports, hotels, schools, hospitals, industrial facilities, environmental remediation sites, and chemical processing facilities. Andrew regularly drafts and negotiates design and construction contracts on behalf of clients undertaking complex projects, with a focus on managing the client’s exposure to risks related to cost, time, and scope.
