Profile

Andrew Pearson has exclusively practiced construction law since commencing his career as a lawyer in 2000. After growing up in Virginia, he practiced at a law firm in San Diego solely focused on representing construction contractors and subcontractors, including claims in California state courts, federal and bankruptcy courts, and in federal government contract appeals, arbitrations and mediations. His clients included contractors engaged in private residential and commercial projects, and in public works including San Diego’s international airport, public schools throughout Southern California, U.S. National Parks and military projects.

Since returning to Virginia, Andrew has been admitted to practice before the Virginia bar and the Federal District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia. His practice includes all facets of business for contractor and building material supplier clients including contract drafting and negotiation, bid protests, insurance issues, mechanic’s lien and payment bond claims, and mediation, arbitration and litigation of claims through trial.

Andrew is the former President of the Lynchburg Bar Association and serves on the council of the Virginia Bar Association Construction & Public Contracts Section. He is past Chairman of the San Diego Bar Construction Law Section. He is active in the Lynchburg community, having served as President of Lynch’s Landing, now known as Downtown Lynchburg Association, the leader in Lynchburg’s downtown revitalization movement, as President of W&L’s Lynchburg alumni chapter, and on the boards of directors for Lynchburg Grows and the YMCA of Central Virginia.
