Adam Lewis represents international engineering, infrastructure and heavy civil construction clients, real estate investment trusts (REIT), real estate private equity firms and real estate lenders in disputes involving construction projects, real estate assets and complex commercial relationships. Drawing on substantial trial, arbitration and appellate experience in state, federal and international forums, he helps clients evaluate risk, resolve claims and litigate when business-critical disputes require a courtroom strategy. 

A significant part of Adam’s practice involves sophisticated electronic discovery and electronically stored information issues. He advises clients on preservation, collection, production and discovery strategy and litigates disputes involving metadata, electronically stored communications, forensic evidence and emerging sources of digital information.

Adam’s litigation experience also informs his construction contract work. He drafts and negotiates construction agreements with an eye toward project objectives, risk allocation and dispute avoidance. His broader commercial disputes work includes banking, contract, business tort, trade secret and intellectual property and real estate development matters, as well as nationwide defense of claims under Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), as well as various state and federal law claims.
