Kaitlin Endres-Guenniche brings something rare to construction law: she has worked on both sides of the contract. As a licensed general contractor and the operator of an electrical contracting company, she understands the realities of the field — not just the language of the law.
Kaitlin approaches every matter with the precision and discipline of a trained attorney. She drafts airtight contracts, navigates the complexities of California construction law, and advocates fiercely for her clients in disputes, mediations, and negotiations. Her legal work is thorough, strategic, and built to protect your business at every stage of a project.
As a licensed general contractor and electrical company operator, Kaitlin reads construction documents the way a contractor does — understanding what the language means on the ground, not just on paper. She is Procore proficient, fluent in construction plan reading, and OSHA 10 certified. When you describe a jobsite problem, she already understands the stakes.
Critically, her working knowledge of California building code and construction plan reading allows her to identify legal strategies and defenses that attorneys without field experience may never think to pursue. What looks like a simple contract dispute may have a code-based defense hidden in the drawings — and Kaitlin knows where to look.
Kaitlin founded Endres-Guenniche Law to serve the contractors, subcontractors, and project owners who build Southern California. Her practice is exclusively focused on construction law — because depth of knowledge matters more than breadth when your project and livelihood are on the line.
Her hands-on experience as a licensed general contractor gives her a strategic edge that few attorneys can offer. Her working knowledge of California building code and the ability to read construction plans means she can identify defenses and legal strategies that a non-contractor attorney may never recognize are available. When the answer to your case is buried in the drawings or a code provision, Kaitlin finds it.
Kaitlin serves as Chairwoman of the City of San Diego's Board of Appeals & Advisors within the Development Services Department — a role that places her at the intersection of construction, policy, and the law. She is a member of the ABA Forum on Construction Law, the San Diego County Bar Association, the North County Bar Association, the Lopardo Inn of Court, and the North County Legislative Society.
In 2025, Kaitlin was recognized as a Marquis Who's Who Honored Listee. Her construction company has been nominated for the 2026 BBB Torch Award for Ethics — a reflection of the values she brings to everything she does, in business and in law.
Outside of her practice, Kaitlin is devoted to her partner Felix Zeev Guenniche. Together they enjoy traveling and connecting with family around the world — an outlook that informs her appreciation for diverse perspectives and her commitment to relationships built on trust.
"I built my practice on a simple belief: contractors deserve an attorney who has been where they have been — and who will fight for them with the same tenacity they bring to every project."
