From a small town in Missouri to the heart of Sacramento’s legal community, Megan Shapiro’s journey into construction litigation is as fascinating as it is inspiring. In this episode, Bruce Bean sits down with Megan to explore her path from law school to becoming a trial lawyer and partner at her firm, with a focus on construction defect defense and fraud-based claims.
Megan shares how she “fell into” construction law and grew to love it, building a thriving practice that serves trade contractors, general contractors, and design professionals across California. She also sheds light on the nuances of litigation, what it really means to be a trial lawyer, and why construction disputes—from change orders to liens—are at the core of so many cases.
Listeners will also enjoy Megan’s take on high-profile cases like the Millennium Tower in San Francisco, insights into the future of construction litigation, and a surprising favorite snack that might just involve a 7-Eleven run.
