Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP is pleased to announce that Ian P. Faria and Jon Paul Hoelscher, partners in the firm’s Houston office, have earned Board Certification for construction law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS).

TBLS certification is a mark of excellence that indicates substantial, relevant experience in a select field of law, as well as demonstrated, and tested, special competence in that area of law.

“We are very proud of Ian and Jon Paul for their accomplishments and leadership in construction law, and we congratulate them on their certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization,” said Bradley Chairman of the Board and Managing Partner Jonathan M. Skeeters.

He represents developers, general contractors, subcontractors, homebuilders, and business owners in a variety of disputes, as well as in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance and investigation matters.

Mr. Hoelscher focuses his practice on advising clients in the construction, energy, and oil and gas industries.
