Alan S. Bishop

Alan focuses his practice on the construction industry, performing both transactional work and litigation. Clients benefit from his experience as a licensed civil engineer, allowing him to quickly identify and understand key technical issues as well as the legal issues. Alan draws from a variety of alternative delivery models for transactional work, including Integrated Project Delivery and Design-Build, and incorporates collaborative tools like LEAN and BIM. He uses cost effective strategies to litigate cases and has resolved disputes early through dispositive motions, piecemeal settlements, and mediation.

Alan has been involved in advising and representing contractors on competitive bidding for public work projects, bid protests, contract requirements, and the prosecution and defense claims involving added work scope, professional negligence, inefficiency, delay, and wrongful termination. As a civil engineer, Alan worked six years on the design, construction, and inspection of State Water Project facilities for the California Department of Water Resources.
