Claire Williamson

Claire Williamson centers her practice on commercial litigation, with an emphasis on construction and employment litigation. In her construction practice, Claire represents primarily GCs, specialty subcontractors, and owners in a broad range of disputes. Her experience includes litigation, mediation, and arbitration of construction defects, design errors and omissions, schedule delays, professional negligence, defaults, and payment disputes. She devotes a portion of her practice to drafting and negotiating contract documents, including contractor-subcontractor and design-build agreements. Though she represents a variety of employers in her work, her experience as a construction litigator gives her unique insight when advising contractor-clients in employment disputes. She has successfully defended her clients in cases involving allegations of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, failure to accommodate, theft of trade secrets, violation of restrictive covenants, and interference with protected rights under various federal and state statutes. In addition to litigation, she counsels her clients on matters such as hiring, terminations, and employment policies and handbooks to ensure best practices are followed.
