More About Brian D. Chenoweth

Brian formed CLG in 2006, after an 8-year, successful run as the co-founder and managing partner of Rycewicz and Chenoweth, LLP. Brian represents clients in all aspects of commercial litigation in state and federal courts. With over 25 years of experience in law, Brian is recognized for his litigation work with plaintiffs and defendants alike throughout Oregon and Washington. 

Practice Areas: 

Business: 

Brian has handled many business disputes in his career, including shareholder disputes, partnership disputes, trade secret litigation, unfair competition, financial fraud, contract disputes, and UCC cases. Having seen how poorly drafted agreements lead to litigation, Brian also enjoys counseling businesses on their business transactions and improving their contracts. 

Real Estate: 

Brian provides deep experience in real estate disputes, including breach of contract, failure to disclose material defects, boundary and easement disputes, and partition actions. Employment: Brian regularly counsels clients on employment matters and litigates those cases that cannot be resolved informally. 

Brian represents both employers and employees, including executives in their employment claims. Representing both sides of an area of law allows a lawyer to understand the strategy and thinking of opposing counsel. 

Environmental: 

Brian's environmental clients include property owners and businesses facing regulatory compliance and cleanup costs for all types of contamination. In addition, Brian represents clients in matters regarding environmental consultant and contractor negligence, water quality, wetlands, landslides, and bodily injury and property damage related to chemicals, lead, asbestos and mold.

Insurance: 

Brian has successfully handled numerous insurance disputes and has represented insurance companies and policy holders. Today he only represents policy holders in insurance coverage disputes for property damage and injury. Brian's expertise is in forcing insurance companies to pay to defend their insureds when they are sued and to pay the cost of settlements or judgments. His work includes general liability policies, errors and omissions/professional negligence policies, directors and officers policies, and first-party property and casualty insurance. Construction: Brian represents contractors, subcontractors, and owners in all types of construction disputes, including construction defect, construction injury, breach of contract, construction liens, and surety/bond disputes.
