Mr. Andrade's practice focuses primarily on construction litigation (public and private), including "changed conditions", change order and differing site condition claims, Mechanic's Lien and Stop Notice Litigation, Labor Law, including Trust Fund Litigation, Environmental Law and General Business Litigation. He counsels and represents project owners, general contractors, subcontractors, crane and rigging contractors, and material suppliers.

Mr. Andrade has specialized in the construction industry for nearly 25 years. He has extensive experience in all aspects of the California Judicial System, the Federal System and the American Arbitration Association. Additionally, he serves on the Board of Directors for the Engineering Contractors Association, is an affiliate member of the Southern California Contractors Association and the Associated General Contractors of California. Additionally, Mr. Andrade is counsel to the Engineering Contractors Association and is a member of the Associated General Contractors Statewide Legal Advisory Committee to the construction industry, as well as a member of the Southern California Constructors Legal Advisory Committee.

Mr. Andrade holds a California State Contractors License, and was actively involved in the construction industry as an owner of a company that, over a 10 year period, constructed in excess of 60 projects, the value of which exceeds $30 million.

Mr. Andrade's goal, in representing clients, is to achieve the optimum cost-benefit result possible within the context of the facts, law and good legal representation. He attempts to solve problems, not create them, to achieve ends rather than frustrate them, and to do so in an aggressive yet ethical manner.
