Jon Elder is a construction lawyer and litigator who regularly advises general contractors, construction managers, design-build contractors, subcontractors, owners, and developers on the full gamut of issues related to construction projects and disputes. His areas of focus include:
Jon applies a practical approach to avoiding and solving clients’ problems. Where disputes are unavoidable, he has earned a reputation as a skilled advocate in mediations, arbitrations, and trials, where he has pursued and defended claims relating to design defects, delay (including lost productivity, interference, etc.), scope and payment disputes, and other issues.
Before joining Anderson & Kreiger in 2018, Jon was a Partner at a nationally-recognized construction practice at another Boston law firm, where he practiced for nearly ten years.
Jon lives in Ipswich, Massachusetts with his wife and three energetic children. He spends much of his free time watching his kids play sports and attempting to relive his youth by playing them (poorly) himself.
