also known as Nate Simon
I founded Simon Law because I love advising businesses and helping leaders make smart, confident decisions. My background includes serving as General Counsel for a major design build contractor, where I learned that the best legal work supports the business first. Today I work with construction and business clients across the country who want practical guidance, strong contracts, and a trusted advisor they can call anytime. In addition to my construction and business practice, I handle a small number of personal injury matters on a selective basis, providing the same direct, careful attention I bring to my business clients. I also serve on boards and advisory boards for select companies, offering practical legal and business judgment informed by real-world leadership experience.
Outside of work, I enjoy long walks and podcasts, traveling with my family, playing golf and pickleball, and have recently gotten into birding.
