Matt Talley

Practice Areas

When Matt counsels industry clients in transactions, disputes, or insurance issues, he operates from the place where business and legal issues overlap. By integrating both perspectives into his work, he guides his clients through an inherently complex, dynamic, and high-stakes legal terrain. In a field as intricate as construction, almost no question is purely legal, or purely business. With this hybrid perspective always in mind, Matt brings an exceptionally creative and multifaceted approach to solving problems.

Matt routinely drafts and negotiates complex construction contracts and professional services agreements, and he has a thorough understanding of the AIA, EJCDC, ConsensusDocs, and DBIA industry templates, which he adapts to address each specific client and project. He also represents owners, general contractors, and design professionals in complex litigation and disputes. In addition, he assists corporate policy holders in the evaluation of insurance coverage issues for both first-party and third-party insurance, and he reviews and drafts risk management provisions in commercial agreements.
