[ Ссылка ] Law jobs related to real estate come in a variety of shapes and sizes. One of those is being a construction lawyer. Construction lawyers are involved in the day-to-day of construction projects, according to construction lawyer Matt DeVries of Stites & Harbison in Nashville. Matt tells us all about these types of lawyers in this interview with JDCOT host Marc Luber.

Being a construction lawyer, Matt represents mostly contractors.

Then there are the matters that occur during projects when things go wrong.
