Jake C. Weaver, Partner

Jake Weaver’s practice focuses predominantly on serving as outside counsel for construction companies and developers, encompassing all aspects from bidding, bid protests, contract review and drafting, substantiating change orders and back charges, and preserving and prosecuting claims for extra work, acceleration, lost productivity, and delay, among others. Jake has extensive experience with construction payment remedies, including mechanic’s liens, stop payment notice claims, payment bond claims, and prompt payment penalties.

Based on Jake’s construction experience and success, he was selected to Super Lawyers’ Northern California Rising Stars list for Construction Litigation for seven consecutive years from 2018 through 2024. Only 2.5% of attorneys in Northern California receive this distinction each year. Since then, Jake has been selected as a Northern California Super Lawyer in Construction Litigation for 2025 and 2026.

In addition to his construction practice, Jake routinely serves as counsel in business transactions and real estate matters. Jake is well-versed in business stock sales, asset sales, and other business succession planning. Jake’s general business and transactions practice also includes real estate acquisitions and sales, as well as commercial leasing.

Outside the office, Jake is passionate about coaching youth sports, endurance running, wakeboarding, and snowboarding.
