About Calvin
Ted Vick focuses his law practice on counseling, advising and representing clients in the construction industry. Over the last 22 years, Ted has advised and represented numerous regional and national owners and developers, general contractors, construction managers, and architectural and engineering firms in connection with construction projects located throughout the Southeastern United States and in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Texas, California and Washington. Ted regularly represents owners, developers and contractors in the resolution of design and construction-related disputes, whether through settlement negotiations, mediation, arbitration or litigation in trial or appellate courts. Ted has represented clients in all types of design and construction-related disputes, including delay, interference and acceleration claims, claims for extra work and changes, claims arising out of termination, supplementation or abandonment, and claims for defective construction and design.Although Ted spends much of his time representing construction industry clients in mediations, arbitrations and the courts, he dedicates even more of his time to counseling owners, developers, contractors and design professionals in the day-to-day navigation of legal issues that arise before, during and after the construction of a project, as well as negotiating and drafting critical contract documents for his clients. On the transactional side of his practice, Ted has many years of experience drafting, revising and negotiating design contracts, construction contracts, design-build contracts, CMAA and CMAR agreements, subcontracts, consulting agreements, development agreements and various other agreements and documents for the development, design and construction of multi-family residential, hospitality, commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects across the country. Ted values the relationships he has with many of his clients which span day-to-day counseling and problem solving, contract and pre-contract services, and the resolution of disputes arising out of construction projects. In his experience, when Ted is able to build this type of relationship with an industry client, he is better able to assist such clients to avoid or minimize substantial and expensive litigation.Ted earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Georgia in 1992, and then worked for three years in the criminal justice field before returning to school to study law. He earned his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 1998.
