Overview

Megan Kateff, certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Construction Law, represents clients across the construction industry in disputes arising during every stage of a project—including construction and design defects, payment claims, lien and bond issues, delays, and project closeout.

Megan’s objective is simple: to efficiently resolve such disputes on the best possible terms for the client. She is able to strike the delicate balance of mastering complex details while simultaneously developing practical solutions from the outset. Through consistent and collaborative communication, Megan instills confidence in her clients, effectively managing risk and expectations at every stage of the dispute at hand.

The hallmark of Megan’s legal work is her unrelenting attention to detail. She handles each matter with diligence, precision, and a keen sense of priority, deploying a tailored legal strategy with tenacity. She is a strong legal writer whose work product—whether in briefing, motions, or everyday correspondence—is persuasive and purposeful.

That same diligence extends beyond active legal disputes. Megan has spearheaded the firm’s biennial state legislative updates, meticulously tracking new, industry-specific legislation affecting the firm’s various client bases. Recognized for her dedication to mentorship, she also leads the firm’s Attorney Development department, ensuring that the firm’s associates are properly mentored and exposed to meaningful opportunities for industry engagement and professional development.

Outside the office, Megan enjoys trying new restaurants around Austin and spending time with family and friends. Born and raised in Michigan, she was an internationally competitive figure skater in high school and for the University of Michigan.
