Strategic hire enhances firm’s ability to service construction clients and continues commitment to growth in Richmond

Miles & Stockbridge, an Am Law 200 firm with more than 200 lawyers and offices in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia and New York, is pleased to announce that seasoned construction lawyer Andy Mathews has joined the firm’s Richmond office.  His arrival deepens the firm’s litigation capabilities and reflects a continued commitment to meeting client demand in the growing Virginia market.

Mathews assists clients in all phases of the construction process, from pre-bid development and contracting through close-out, as well as litigation, if needed. He brings a practical, business-minded approach that helps clients avoid risk and resolve issues efficiently when they arise.

“Andy brings deep knowledge of construction law and a track record of helping clients navigate complex challenges,” said John Badman IV, managing principal of the Richmond office. “We are absolutely thrilled for Andy to join Miles & Stockbridge in our growing Richmond office.  His addition strengthens our ability to support clients in Virginia and nationally, especially as construction activity and infrastructure investment continue to rise.”

Mathews represents developers, owners, banks, hospitals, contractors and sub-contractors in contract negotiations, prosecuting and defending mechanic’s liens, payment and performance bond claims, dispute resolution and litigation. He was previously a partner with Williams Mullen in Richmond.

“I’m excited to join Miles & Stockbridge in its Richmond office and contribute to a team that prioritizes client service and business-focused solutions,” he said. “This is a great opportunity to expand the firm’s construction practice serving clients’ evolving needs across key industries including real estate, government contracts and energy.”

Mathews’ hire comes on the heels of finance lawyer Chris Vinyard joining the firm’s Richmond office in April, marking continued strategic investment in client-focused legal talent in the region.

“We are excited and proud that Andy is joining our litigation team,” said Joseph L. Beavers, co-chair of the firm’s Litigation Practice Group. “His expertise and experience will enhance our ability to serve some of our most important clients, and he is going play a critical role in our continued growth efforts in Richmond.”
