Biography

Larry W. Caudle, Jr. is an attorney with Kraftson Caudle in McLean, Virginia, where he focuses his practice on Construction Law and Litigation - Construction. His work includes representation of owners, contractors, subcontractors, and engineers on heavy civil, highway, and transportation projects. Larry advises clients on claim preparation and analysis, provides real-time guidance during active construction, assists with claims avoidance, and represents parties in alternative dispute resolution and construction litigation.

In addition, Larry has served as legal counsel on numerous design-build and public-private partnership proposals and has handled contract negotiations for complex construction projects across the United States. His experience with government contracts and large-scale infrastructure projects allows him to address legal and practical issues that arise throughout the project lifecycle.

Before attending law school, Larry gained substantial hands-on experience in the heavy construction industry. He grew up in a family-owned general contracting business and, after earning his undergraduate degree, worked for eight years as an estimator and project manager. This background informs his approach to construction law matters and supports practical, informed counsel for clients involved in construction disputes and project planning.

Larry earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Richmond School of Law in 1994 and his Bachelor of Business Administration from James Madison University in 1982. He is admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the District of Columbia, and related federal courts.
