Thomas R. Krider

Large and small companies involved in public and private construction project disputes come to Tom for his experienced counsel on complex commercial litigation and contract negotiation matters. He is a problem solver who works with his clients to expeditiously and efficiently mitigate risk and navigate their most challenging issues throughout all project phases, from the initial contract formation through project completion, including claims and if necessary litigation. Tom explores all options for dispute resolution, but when litigation is the best solution to a problem, he can be counted on to be an aggressive advocate for the needs of his clients. Sought after for this trusted ability to problem solve, Tom also serves as a mediator. Given his vast experience in representing notable companies in large construction disputes and his own personal interest in the technical/engineering aspects of those projects, Tom understands the actual construction aspects of projects and advises clients on how the law applies to them.

A seasoned litigator, Tom has represented clients in a wide variety of projects across the U.S. and internationally, including: sewer treatment facilities in Hawaii and Washington; utility and roadway construction; a major light-rail transit project; a Navy carrier pier; frozen soil shoring; school construction; bridges; utility scale solar, biogen, and nuclear projects; multiple tunneling and microtunneling projects; and claims against the Federal Government, including construction claims domestic and foreign, and relating to a Base Operations Services contract. He also counsels domestic and international companies on the unique legal issues, including EPC contractors and financial lenders on public private partnerships (P3).
