About Sean Wagner

I’m an attorney at Much, where I focus my practice on all facets of construction litigation and transactions. I help engineers, architects, contractors, subcontractors, and other commercial entities navigate complex construction and design projects. My clients count on me to identify potential issues before they evolve, and I use creative approaches to resolve disputes when they arise.A strong advocate for my clients, I have years of experience leading parties through challenging situations. My practice includes breach of contract, delay and disruption claims, design and construction-defect claims, bond claims, and mechanics lien disputes, among others. I have litigated dozens of commercial matters on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants.Clients also rely on me to draft and negotiate complex construction agreements for projects of all shapes and sizes. I’ve drafted contracts for projects in excess of $50 million, and I’ve assisted clients in preparing contract documents before, during, and after project completion. My background allows me to quickly get up to speed on complex issues and facilitate impactful conversations with clients to ensure all details are identified and argued effectively.
