From the contract you sign before a project starts to the dispute you need resolved after it ends — Endres-Guenniche Law handles every stage of the construction legal lifecycle.
Your legal team, without the overhead.
Growing contractors need legal infrastructure — but not a full-time attorney on payroll. Fractional General Counsel gives you ongoing access to experienced construction legal counsel on a retainer basis, so you can operate with confidence on every project without the cost of in-house counsel.
This is not a one-off engagement. It is a relationship. Kaitlin works with a select book of contractor clients — getting to know your business, your contracts, your risk tolerance, and your long-term goals. The objective is not just to solve today's legal problem, but to help you grow sustainably: taking on larger projects, entering stronger contracts, and building a business with real legal infrastructure underneath it.
When a legal question comes up on a new project, you have someone who already knows your operation, your people, and your standards — and can advise you immediately.
General contractors and subcontractors who are growing, taking on larger projects, or entering new contract relationships — and who want a trusted legal partner in their corner for the long term, not just when something goes wrong.
Because Kaitlin is a licensed contractor herself, she reviews your contracts with the eyes of someone who has been in your position. She understands what standard industry terms mean in practice — and flags the clauses that put you at risk before you're bound by them.
Fractional GC engagements are customized to your business. Contact us to discuss what ongoing counsel would look like for your operation.
Schedule a ConsultationThe best defense against a construction dispute is a well-drafted contract. Kaitlin drafts and reviews prime contracts, subcontracts, owner agreements, and vendor agreements with the precision of an attorney who has also operated as a contractor — identifying the clauses that create risk before you are bound by them.
When a project goes wrong, you need an attorney who understands both the law and the realities of construction. Kaitlin handles breach of contract, defective work claims, project delays, termination disputes, and pay when paid clause disputes — with the field knowledge to identify arguments and defenses others miss.
California's mechanics lien laws are strict, deadline-driven, and unforgiving. Missing a preliminary notice deadline or filing window can permanently eliminate your right to payment. Kaitlin handles the full lifecycle of lien and bond claims — from preliminary notices through enforcement — to protect what you have earned.
Uncompensated extra work is one of the most common — and costly — problems in construction. Whether your change orders were denied, disputed, or never reduced to writing, Kaitlin pursues recovery for the work you performed and the compensation you are owed. Her contractor background means she understands exactly what the extra work entailed and what it cost.
Kaitlin is available to California attorneys seeking experienced construction law co-counsel for complex matters. Her dual background as a licensed contractor and construction attorney brings a unique perspective to litigation strategy, expert coordination, and technical document review that benefits any construction case.
