Steven Mroczkowski is a Shareholder in the Firm’s Chicago office and a member of the Litigation practice group. He represents businesses up and down the construction contract chain—from owners and developers and lenders and sureties to contractors and subcontractors to architects and engineers—helping them deal fairly with other parties and protecting their rights when those other parties fail to meet their obligations.
Steve is the consummate outside construction counsel, drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts for clients ranging from large corporations to small closely held companies, but primarily litigating all manner of commercial construction disputes in state and federal courts and mediation and arbitration proceedings throughout the country.
In addition to his construction practice, he regularly advises clients on issues involving breach of contract, complex commercial foreclosures and workouts, lease disputes, liquidations, bankruptcy preferences, and fraudulent transfers. Steve works closely with clients to gain an understanding of their businesses, values, and what drives them, so he can work to obtain wins for clients based on what that means for each client.
