Brian Frederick Hansen

I am mindful of the teachings of Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” in my approach to litigation for my clients. Sun Tzu teaches you must know yourself as well as your opponent. Hence, my clients appreciate my willingness to get to know their industries and their businesses on a deeper level. Whether I’m working proactively to help a client avoid litigation or navigating a dispute, I aim to help my clients to not only avoid mistakes but also to feel like I’m a part of their team, because that is what establishes the best chance of success. Brian Hansen brings a variety of legal experience to his work representing logistics, transportation and poultry companies in litigation throughout the Southeast in the defense of trucking accidents, wrongful death and premises liability claims that involve catastrophic injuries and in responding to highly sensitive investigations and allegations from government agencies. Often on-site with clients at their facilities, Brian works as part of the client’s team to address accidents or injuries that may have occurred at their processing plants or farms. Brian also focuses a considerable amount of his practice on construction law. He represents contractors, owners and design professionals on construction projects on a national basis often beginning with reviewing, drafting and negotiating construction contracts and continuing with a practical, cost-effective approach to address and avoid problems, disputes and claims that arise during the construction project.

Brian is a frequent lecturer on pricing construction claims as well as refining internal processes to maximize recovery.
