TESTIMONIALS
"I worked with Nate for seven years and he is extremely knowledgeable about the construction industry, negotiated complex deals and was always looking for the win-win situation. On top of that he’s a personable guy and doesn’t hesitate to add a bit of humor to any situation, which makes him a joy to work with. I highly recommend him if you need a construction attorney."

Whether navigating complex contracts or bringing practical solutions to the table, Nate always approached every deal with a calm, steady hand and a collaborative mindset. More than anything, he’s just a great person to work with and is smart, fair, and always looking to get to “yes.” If you’re in the construction world and need legal support, I can’t recommend Nate enough."

HOW I'M DIFFERENT
At Simon Law, I keep it simple: business-first legal advice that’s clear, fast, and built for real-world results. No legalese or long memos — I help you get things done.

It took some time, but I've learned how to quickly tell people what time it is.With a multitude of experience in construction, contracts, and business law, I know how to protect your business without slowing it down.

MEET NATE (cont.)
I'm Nate Simon — a business-minded lawyer who spent over a decade inside one of the largest design-build construction firms in the country, helping advise and close large construction contracts, resolve complex disputes, and guide teams across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Now I’m using that experience to help small businesses, contractors, and real people navigate legal issues without the noise.I started Simon Law, PLLC for one reason: to provide clear, practical legal advice to the people who actually build things — the people who don’t have time (or patience) for traditional law firm fluffIn my previous roles, I have negotiated thousands of contracts, led risk strategy, worked across insurance, finance, and operations, and helped with the acquisition of multiple businesses. I know what it takes to protect a company without slowing it down — and I’ve sat in the room when legal advice either made or broke the deal.I’m not here to talk in circles or write long memos. I’m here to help you move forward — with smart, grounded legal advice that works in the real world.My goal - give you pragmatic and simple legal advice that allows you to focus your time and energy on what matters - your business.

HOW I WORK AND HOW I'M DIFFERENT (Cont.)
Most people don’t love lawyers. I get it — they’re expensive, slow, and often more focused on covering themselves than helping you move forward.At Simon Law, we do things differently.I bring pragmatic in-house legal and business experience to the table, which means I don’t just know the law — I know what it’s like to be in your shoes. I’ve negotiated large deals, worked side-by-side with project teams, and helped businesses grow while avoiding costly legal headaches. My job isn't to say “no.” It's to help you say “yes” — with confidence.What Makes Me Different:
Business-First, Not Legal-First
I don’t just look at what’s technically legal — I look at what makes business sense. Risk, revenue, relationships — it all matters.Clear, Actionable Advice
No memos. No legalese. Just honest, practical guidance that helps you make decisions quickly and move forward.I Know Construction
I’ve worked inside a global design-build firm, negotiated with subcontractors, dealt with sureties, managed insurance claims, and helped teams get paid and stay protected. I speak your language.Contracts That Actually Work
I’ve negotiated thousands of contracts and know how to make them clear, fair, and enforceable — whether you’re the owner, contractor, consultant, or supplier.Available When You Need It
You shouldn’t have to wait two weeks for your lawyer to call you back. I keep things responsive, lean, and direct.
Your Legal Partner, Without the Expensive Overhead (Cont.)
Running a business is hard enough. You shouldn't have to wonder if calling your lawyer will blow your budget or slow you down.That’s why I offer flexible, business-friendly legal support — including fractional General Counsel services, project-based work, and clear, flat-fee options for the things you need most: contracts, risk advice, negotiations, disputes, and day-to-day decision-making.Whether you're a contractor, supplier, developer, or small business owner, I can step in and support your team — without the traditional law firm structure, cost, or red tape. I’ve sat in the GC chair, and I know how to balance legal protection with commercial momentum.Let’s talk about how I can help you move faster, protect what you’ve built, and get deals done — without the usual lawyer headaches.Finally, I believe legal services should do more than just protect the bottom line — they should also give back. That’s why 10% of all profits are donated to charity each year.Even better:
Clients get to help choose where the donations go. At the end of each year, you’ll be invited to vote on three different causes.It’s legal work you can feel good about — for your business and the community.Ready to work together?
