Joshua W. Stover

Joshua W. Stover is a partner in Burr & Forman’s Jackson office and a member of the firm’s Construction and Project Development group. His practice focuses on construction and corporate development, with litigation involving design defects, delay claims, differing site conditions, homeowner claims, bid protests, and professional malpractice. He also negotiates contracts for design professionals, contractors, manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies, helping clients address legal issues before and during significant projects.

Stover earned a B.S. from Mississippi State University, graduating magna cum laude, and a J.D. from Mississippi College School of Law, graduating summa cum laude. His academic record reflects strong analytical and writing skills that support a practice involving technical construction facts, detailed contracts, and complex project relationships. That training helps him evaluate contractual language, organize project records, identify disputed responsibilities, and develop legal positions grounded in both the governing documents and the circumstances of the project.

Stover represents clients in disputes arising from project performance, design, timing, site conditions, procurement, and professional services. He also works on the transactional side of construction by negotiating agreements for participants in the design and building process. His client base includes design professionals, contractors, manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies. This combination of contract work and litigation gives him experience with both the planning stage of a project and the disputes that may arise after work begins.

Joshua W. Stover brings a construction-centered practice to clients involved in development projects and related disputes. His work requires close attention to technical records, schedules, contracts, professional duties, and the business objectives behind a project. Stover’s experience in both negotiation and litigation supports practical advice across the project life cycle, from drafting and reviewing agreements to addressing claims involving defects, delay, bidding, site conditions, or professional performance.
