Andrew Ross Portrait

Andrew’s practice is focused on providing transactional, regulatory, and corporate services for construction industry clients. He represents construction project owners and developers, architects, engineers, project managers, construction managers, and contractors in connection with private and public construction projects.

Client Work

Andrew negotiates and drafts agreements covering the services to be provided by architects, engineers, design consultants and their subconsultants, project managers, construction managers, and contractors. He also counsels architectural and engineering firms on licensing and professional practice regulations. Andrew represents architecture, engineering, interior design, and construction firms in connection with sales and acquisitions of design and construction businesses.

Some examples of the types of projects on which Andrew has worked are:

  • Stadium and Sports Complex – after the Government’s suspension of the Design-Build Contract with the design-builder, we were brought in to represent the public finance authority’s interests (as the funding source for the Project) in amending the structure of the Design-Build Contract between the government. The Amended Design-Build Contract put in place controls designed to allow the government to better control the authorization of phases of work after the design is sufficiently developed, and to convert the Design-Build Contract to a fixed Sum from a Cost Plus with a Guaranteed Maximum Price.
  • Provided counsel to project owners and developers of sports stadiums, including major baseball and football sports franchise owners and developers as well as designers of several major league soccer stadiums.
  • Advised developers on the formation and negotiation of construction access license agreement with adjacent property owners.
  • Accordion Toggle
