For more than three decades trial lawyer Lawrence “Larry” Bowman has represented clients in complex commercial litigation, including construction, energy, contractual, tort, product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, and securities matters. He counsels a broad spectrum of individual corporate and insurance company clients in the courtroom during trials and around the negotiation table in the settlement of significant cases.

Larry enjoys representing people and organizations involved in building things and adding value to their communities. He frequently advises contractors and subcontractors and other construction-related companies dealing with disasters such as fires, crane failures, and structural collapses. The process of large-scale commercial construction comes fraught with many kinds of risks, and Larry’s clients rely on him to guide them through the aftermath of accidents, injuries, construction defects, and other challenging situations.

With many years of experience and an in-depth insight into the legal landscape, Larry quickly reads and understands the relationships among the parties involved in conflicts stemming from project incidents. He adeptly synthesizes information—including physical evidence, eyewitness testimonies, and personal observations—to create coherent and influential accounts that explain why and how something happened, who is responsible, who may not be responsible.

When clients hire Larry he takes the time to discuss their issues empathetically and thoroughly, see things from their perspective, and gain a keen understanding of their problems in all their dimensions. He then draws on his broad and deep knowledge to create sensible strategies that contain and manage problems while helping clients attain their goals. If courtroom litigation is the best path forward, Larry brings skilled and passionate advocacy to maximize outcomes.

Away from the Office

In his free time, Larry is an avid reader of many types of prose and frequently attends movies and theater performances. In addition to swimming, hiking, and playing golf, he travels often for both work and pleasure and enjoys spending time with his wife Judie, their three children, and five grandchildren.
