Phil Truax Honored as 2022 Ohio Super Law and CLSA Fellow

Truax Law is pleased to announce that our founder, Phil Truax, has been selected as an 2022 Ohio Super Lawyer, and a Fellow of the Construction Lawyers Society of America (CLSA).

The CLSA, meanwhile, is an invitation-only, international honorary association composed of preeminent lawyers specializing in construction law and related fields. According to CLSA (https://www.constructionsociety.org/about/), fellowship is limited and selective, with lawyers being invited into Fellowship upon a proven record of excellence and accomplishment in construction law at both the trial and appellate levels.

Lawyers nominated or selected may be in any discipline in the construction law arena, including contract specialization, negotiations, litigation, arbitration, appellate and/or surety law, but who have in addition superior ethical reputations. The CLSA seeks a high level of diversity in its selection process; fellows are generally at the partner or shareholder level or are independent practitioners with recognized advanced status among their peers.

The CLSA is dedicated to promoting superior advocacy and ethical standards in construction law and fostering a scholarly and advanced exchange of ideas in all practices related to the specialty.
