Lecturer Bio
Kaysie Garcia
With more than 15 years experience, Kaysie Garcia specializes in construction and government-contract disputes in both federal and state courts throughout California. Her practice spans industrial and commercial projects as well as large-scale infrastructure developments – including highways, bridges, pipelines, mass-transit systems, military facilities, hospitals, public schools, airport taxiways, multi-family housing, hotels, restaurants, municipal pumping stations, and solar-power generation facilities.
She represents clients in a broad spectrum of matters: scope-of-work disputes, extra-work and additional-time claims, mechanic’s liens, bid protests, differing-site-condition issues, and complex delay claims.
Kaysie began her career practicing construction and surety law at Watt, Tieder, Hoffar & Fitzgerald LLP, followed by her role at Rogers Nemeth Germain PC, where she continued to focus on complex construction-litigation matters on behalf of general contractors, subcontractors and developers. She later served as Assistant General Counsel at Shimmick Construction Company, where she managed ongoing litigation, negotiated project contracts, and guided the corporation through complex operational and compliance issues during the COVID-19 pandemic.
