Connor specializes in construction law, representing a diverse range of clients, including owners, general contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, and suppliers in both commercial and residential projects. He has experience in managing complex, multi-party construction litigation cases that encompass design defects, workmanship issues, building material failures, catastrophic losses, job site injuries, contract disputes, mechanic’s liens, payment and performance bonds, and additional insured coverage. 

Construction projects—whether private or public—often present a variety of legal challenges. Connor takes pride in collaborating with construction professionals, not only to resolve immediate legal issues but also to provide strategic guidance that enables them to navigate challenges effectively, deliver quality work, and ultimately enhance their profitability.

Outside of his legal practice, Connor is an outdoor enthusiast. He enjoys bird hunting with his English Springer Spaniel, working on his family’s land in Northern Minnesota, and engaging in recreational sports whenever the weather allows.
