Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP issued the following announcement on Oct. 26.
Marion Hack, a partner in Troutman Pepper’s Construction Practice Group, has been selected to serve as a fellow with the American College of Construction Lawyers (ACCL) and will be inducted into the college during a ceremony early next year. Hack is one of only two fellows located in Southern California.
“I am honored by the fellowship invitation and look forward to continuing to advance the ACCL’s noble efforts to improve and enhance the practice and understanding of construction law,” Hack said.
Founded in 1989, the ACCL is an association of construction law practitioners, professors and judges that work together to advance the construction law profession. The group offers meetings, educational programs and other resources, notably publishing the Journal of the American College of Construction Lawyers, which is distributed worldwide.
Fellowship with the organization is “extended by invitation to those who are found to have mastered the practice or the teaching of construction law and dispute resolution in the complex technical and legal fields pertaining to the built environment, whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, scholarship, professionalism, and collegiality, and who have demonstrated a commitment to ‘give back’ to the construction industry.”
Hack is a first-chair trial lawyer specializing in multimillion-dollar claim disputes involving high-profile, complex construction projects. With a history of favorable verdicts and settlements, Hack has been recognized as a leading construction lawyer by Chambers USA. She recently represented two of the world’s largest global construction design/consulting firms to soundly defeat a $100 million breach of contract claim and achieved a unanimous award of nearly $5 million for the clients for unpaid invoices in a jury trial lasting three months.
