About
Andrew T. Tice is a shareholder and litigation practice leader whose work focuses on civil litigation, construction disputes, employment and labor law. The work involves analyzing client needs and the documents, laws, and procedures relevant to each matter. The practice addresses issues through advice, negotiation, and, where the published practice covers disputes, litigation.
Andrew earned a B.A. from Iowa State University in 1998 and a J.D. cum laude from the University of Illinois in 2001. That academic background informs the legal research, writing, and analysis involved in the practice. It also provides context for handling regulatory requirements, transactions, or disputes within the stated practice areas.
Andrew has experience involving construction and surety disputes, product liability, insurance bad faith, discrimination, collective bargaining issues and workers’ compensation defense. These matters can call for research, fact gathering, document review, and assessment of the relevant legal and practical options. The nature of the representation varies according to the case, transaction, or regulatory question. The precise legal questions depend on the parties involved, the governing rules and the documents or evidence available in each matter.
Andrew T. Tice has professional experience and service that includes Best Lawyers recognition across litigation, construction and employment-related categories. The combination of these activities and the identified practice provides context for the legal services offered. The work requires clear communication about legal requirements, relevant risks, and the available next steps. Clients can use this guidance to understand the legal process and make informed decisions about how to proceed.
