James F. Lee, Jr. and Jonathan C. Shoemaker formed Lee/Shoemaker PLLC to continue their years of representing design professionals, both locally in the DC Metropolitan region and nationally. While he continues to provide strategic and tactical input on litigation matters, Jim currently focuses his practice on the business-side of operating a design firm, including corporate formation and governance, insurance and risk management related issues, and successful transition planning. Jonathan focuses on representing design professionals in construction disputes, and enjoys getting into the weeds of a dispute, deconstructing the issues presented throughout the discovery process, and then presenting the dispute clearly and concisely for the fact finder. Jim and Jonathan are joined by a team of talented and experienced lawyers who embrace the firm’s passion for representing and serving the design professional community.
