A consummate professional for complex construction disputes

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-party dispute on a public infrastructure project that threatened significant financial exposure and project delays. We engaged Kevin Kolton at Perkins Coie based on his deep specialization in construction law and government contracts. From our first meeting, his 35 years of experience were evident. He didn't just understand the legal statutes; he grasped the intricate engineering and procurement nuances of our case, which involved both state and federal contracting elements. His strategic guidance was precise, and his calm, methodical approach in negotiations was invaluable. Kevin's recognition in Best Lawyers for Construction Law and Litigation was well-earned. He successfully navigated us to a favorable settlement that preserved our business relationship with the public entity and avoided protracted litigation. Kevin is more than an attorney; he is a strategic partner who provides clarity and confidence during the most challenging situations. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
