Hannah Tyson, B.C.S. Attorney At Law

Deeply committed construction law attorney representing developers, contractors, and subcontractors in complex litigation across Florida. Bringing a client-centered and thoughtful approach to all cases.

Hannah Tyson, board certified in Construction Law by The Florida Bar, brings a deep-rooted passion for Florida’s growth and development to her practice, driven by her unique perspective as a ninth-generation Floridian. Growing up in Brevard County, Hannah gained firsthand knowledge of the construction industry through working in the office of her grandparents’ custom home building company. She primarily dedicates her practice to construction defect litigation cases throughout Florida, while also assisting clients with drafting contracts and lien disputes.

Throughout her career, Hannah has defended developers, general contractors, and subcontractors named as the primary defendant in construction defect claims. Her extensive experience spans cases involving high-rise condominiums, townhomes, and single-family homes, allowing her to resolve matters effectively and efficiently for her clients. With  comprehensive proficiency in managing large construction project file discovery, conducting fact and expert witness depositions, and handling complex motions, Hannah skillfully navigates cases involving numerous parties, including homeowners’ associations, condominium associations, developers, architects, engineers, general contractors, and subcontractors.

A critical component of her construction law focus is Hannah’s evaluation and implementation of risk transfer strategies based on contractual obligations, including defense, indemnity, and additional insured rights, to protect interests of her developer, general contractor, and subcontractor clients. Hannah's proficiency in cases involving owner- or contractor-controlled wrap insurance policies (OCIP and CCIP), commercial general liability policies, and excess policies allow her to advise clients of the impact complex insurance structures have on litigation outcomes, while simultaneously providing critical evaluation of the alleged construction and design claims at issue in defect lawsuits.
