Experienced in all aspects of construction law, business law, and commercial and insurance litigation, Bryce Sinner brings a hands-on knowledge of the construction trade to his work with commercial and residential contractors, developers, and owners.
Prior to earning his law degree, Bryce worked for five years at Turner Construction’s Portland office—one of the nation's largest general contractors—holding positions as field engineer, superintendent, project engineer, and cost engineer for high-end commercial construction jobs. Bryce's construction background allows him to better anticipate clients' cost concerns and contractual relationships, so they can meet their legal obligations as efficiently as possible. Bryce's understanding of the construction process also helps him preempt regulatory and other legal problems that other attorneys might not foresee.
