Reflections on a Legal Career: W. Andrew McLauchlin

May 15, 2025 | W. Andrew McLauchlin

Editor’s Note: This is the latest in an ongoing series of Reflections from senior counsel which this Newsletter has been privileged to run in the 2024-2025 term. Other Reflections pieces may be accessed by logging into the OBA website and following this link.

Getting Good. Getting Known.

Over the course of my career in construction law, I have come to understand this truth: it takes ten years to get good at something, and ten years to earn a good reputation. Importantly, they are not the same ten years. The OBA has generously asked me to reflect on a career in construction law. Whether you are three, thirteen, or thirty years into practice, I hope these reflections offer something useful, on both the practice of law and the life that comes with it.
