Jane Kutepova

Counsel
“In construction, the blueprint binds dreams to reality. In the courtroom, it’s the contract that anchors those dreams in enforceable law.”

Jane Kutepova is a hands-on litigator with a particular focus on the construction industry. She represents general contractors, developers, and business owners in complex disputes involving defects, delays, payment claims, and performance bonds—matters where the financial and operational stakes are significant.

Her litigation work spans multi-party cases in both state and federal court, where she brings a trial-ready mindset to every phase of the dispute. Jane is known for her thorough case preparation, commercial sensibility, and ability to keep litigation aligned with broader business priorities.

Earlier in her career, Jane clerked for the Chief Bankruptcy Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia.
