Traeger Machetanz
Partner
I like construction litigation because it is like three dimensional chess: competitive, challenging, and strategic.
Traeger Machetanz is a partner whose practice focuses on construction and government contracts counseling and litigation in Alaska and throughout the United States, frequently appearing in courts, boards of contract appeal, agency hearings, and arbitrations. He also advises owners, general contractors, and subcontractors on bidding, contract negotiation and formation, government compliance, and dispute resolution, and has given numerous speeches to trade groups on these topics.
