Simon Law reviews prime contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, master service agreements, consultant agreements, and joint venture agreements for any type of construction projects. This includes AIA, ConsensusDocs, and custom owner forms.

Each review identifies how the agreement allocates risk across payment, schedule, scope, changes, indemnity, insurance, termination, and dispute resolution. The deliverable is a written summary explaining the practical impact of each major provision and recommended revisions where the allocation creates unnecessary exposure.

The difference is perspective. Most outside lawyers review contracts for legal risk. Simon Law reviews them for project risk, because the provisions that cause problems on active jobs are not always the ones that look dangerous on paper. That perspective comes from reviewing thousands of agreements while being responsible for project outcomes, not just legal opinions.

Reviews are performed for a fixed fee based on agreement type and complexity. Typical turnaround is three to five business days. Expedited review is available when project schedules require it.

The firm also drafts and updates subcontracts, master service agreements, and project-specific forms for companies that need agreements reflecting their actual operations and risk position rather than off-the-shelf templates.

Simon Law provides construction law services to contractors across Kentucky, the southeast, and the United States. Simon Law serves as outside general counsel for construction companies that need experienced legal guidance but do not need or want a full-time in-house lawyer. Current fractional clients include electrical contractors, design-build firms, and engineering companies with annual revenues ranging from $50 million to over $200 million.

The engagement covers contract review and negotiation, risk allocation decisions, project documentation questions, insurance and surety issues, vendor and subcontractor disputes, and general business matters as they arise. The firm becomes familiar with the client's operations, risk tolerance, contract templates, and project types so advice is calibrated rather than generic.

Engagements are structured around predictable monthly or quarterly pricing with defined availability, not open-ended hourly billing. The goal is to make legal counsel a regular part of project operations so issues are addressed early rather than after they become claims.

For companies that want to improve internal contracting practices, the firm also provides targeted training for project managers and estimators on contract administration, documentation, and common risk provisions.

Nate Simon currently serves on three boards and brings legal, operational, and strategic perspective to governance-level decision making. Board service draws on the same experience that supports the firm's construction practice: understanding how risk, contracts, insurance, and operations interact at the leadership level.

Simon Law advises boards and executive teams on risk oversight, contract authority and approval processes, insurance program structure, dispute exposure, and strategic decisions that carry legal implications. This work is particularly relevant for construction companies, construction-adjacent businesses, and nonprofit organizations undertaking capital projects.

For companies considering adding outside legal perspective to their board or advisory structure, the firm is available to discuss how that role would be scoped and what value it would provide relative to the organization's current needs.

Simon Law advises construction businesses when project issues arise and before positions harden into formal disputes. The firm reviews project records, evaluates contractual rights and exposure under the applicable agreement, and helps management determine practical options for resolving the matter or preparing a defensible position.

This is advisory work, not litigation. The objective is to clarify leverage and risk early so decisions can be made deliberately. Where litigation becomes necessary, Simon Law assists with selection and coordination of litigation counsel and provides ongoing support on contract interpretation, damages analysis, and project documentation.
