For this week’s Guest Post Friday, Musings welcomes back Ryan Bowers. Ryan is the General Counsel and VP Operations for Contrast Mechanical Inc., a Michigan commercial and industrial mechanical construction company. In addition to legal and operations, Ryan handles all IT and manages the Service Division. Prior to going in-house, Ryan was a litigator at an international firm, a national firm, and a regional firm, with a focus on antitrust, construction and surety law. Ryan is also the founder of RFPattorney.com, an online legal network and cloud RFP platform helping better connect businesses and legal departments with outside counsel. He blogs about Construction here and Legal Marketing here.
I am honored that Chris has asked me to guest post again here at Musings. This blog is simply a wonderful combination of construction, law and technology, and if you couldn’t tell from my bio, I live squarely at the intersection of these three fields.
About four months ago I made the decision to move from law firm to in-house practice. Although I very much enjoyed working in the law firm environment, I think working for a construction company was inevitable for me. Add on top of that the opportunity to spend time on-site and guide the technology direction of a company, and it was too good to pass up.
