These passions fit well with his career choice as he has gained significant experience arbitrating and litigating all types of construction disputes, from a billion dollar environmental remediation project to large and small scale public and private project payment disputes. Representative matters for Steven cover an array of construction sectors, including buildings, heavy-highway, industrial, water, energy, manufacturing, sewer/waste, telecom, hazardous waste collection, environmental remediation, and residential. Avoiding disputes is as important to him as defending and prosecuting claims.
