Stephen Lowe focuses his practice generally in the area of commercial litigation, with an emphasis on representation and counseling of clients involved in the construction industry. He has represented owners, general contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, and sureties in connection with a wide range of projects, such as airports, sports arenas, hotels, heavy industrial and municipal facilities, schools, and office buildings. He helps his clients deal with a variety of issues and disputes, including delay and impact claims, scope of work disputes, as well as design and construction defects. In addition, he has extensive experience in drafting and review of construction contracts and other agreements.
Mr. Lowe is keenly aware that disputes can be costly and disruptive to the client’s business and operations, and he works to help his clients avoid that whenever possible, by seeking reasonable avenues for negotiation and compromise of disputes. Oftentimes, this produces the best and most cost-effective result for the client. But when settlement is not feasible, he is prepared to vigorously advocate for his client’s interests in court or other forums, and in that capacity he has represented clients in complex dispute resolution proceedings across the country, in both State and Federal courts, as well as in arbitration.
Mr. Lowe believes that candor by both the attorney and the client, coupled with open lines of communication, is essential to a successful attorney-client relationship. He strives to uphold that standard, and welcomes his clients’ input and participation in every engagement.
Mr. Lowe earned a B.A. from Davidson College and a J.D. from the University of Florida College of Law, where he was a Member of the Editorial Board for the University of Florida Law Review. He is admitted to practice in Georgia and Florida, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia, and U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Mr. Lowe is a member of the State Bar of Georgia, the Florida Bar, and the Atlanta Bar Association. LITIGATION
