CHICAGO, October 10, 2022 – Levenfeld Pearlstein is delighted to announce that Suzanne Karbarz Rovner has joined the firm as a Partner in its Real Estate Group.
Rovner’s practice focuses on all aspects of construction law, including advising clients on effective strategies for project execution, drafting and negotiating contracts, and enforcing contractual rights and obligations. Rovner represents owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, architects, and engineers in construction projects throughout the country. She also prosecutes and defends construction-related claims, including mechanics lien disputes, litigation, and alternative dispute resolution.
“Suzanne’s experience and knowledge solidify and expand LP’s ability to provide construction-focused legal counsel not only to our real estate clients but the firm’s corporate clients as well,” said Eric Fuglsang, chair of LP’s Real Estate Group.
In addition to her active legal practice, Rovner is a frequent writer and speaker on issues related to construction law.
