About Henry Bangert
Henry Bangert grew up in the construction business. His family has been in heavy civil construction for four generations in the Midwest and Mountain West. Henry’s first jobs growing up were on airport and bridge projects in and around St. Louis and Denver. To this day, Henry’s close family are working in various sectors of the industry. Construction is literally in Henry’s blood. Consequently, Henry’s work for construction and engineering clients is personal and it is his passion. He knows what is on the line for his clients when significant legal issues arise. Having lived through the ups and downs of the industry, he understands what critical negotiations, disputes and litigation mean from the perspective of the business owner, management, operations, as well as the litigator. From Henry’s point of view, his success is one and the same with his client’s success.
Following law school at the University of Colorado, Henry joined the construction practice group at Sherman & Howard L.L.C. in Denver. It is with Sherman & Howard that Henry received his legal training from Mike Cook, Bret Gunnell, Charlotte Wiessner, and many other well-respected construction attorneys.
For six years, up until opening day of Beltzer Banger & Gunnell LLP, Henry worked as Legal Counsel – U.S. Operations for PCL Construction Enterprises, Inc. In his role for PCL, Henry and the PCL legal team supported PCL’s operations from coast-to-coast and was responsible for the effective and efficient delivery of legal services to PCL’s heavy civil, commercial buildings and industrial operations. Henry was responsible for the resolution of major claims and litigation, high risk and significant contract negotiations, corporate legal issues, ethics, governmental and regulatory compliance, and day-to-day legal support for PCL’s operations. As Legal Counsel for PCL, Henry worked with the most talented construction attorneys and consultants across the US, on both sides of the table.
Today, Henry counsels clients in contract planning, negotiation, administration, and dispute resolution nationally in the construction and engineering industry. His broad range of legal experience includes roads, bridges, high-rise buildings, process piping, water and wastewater treatment facilities, power, energy and chemical projects, healthcare and biomedical centers, airports, sports stadiums, entertainment and hospitality, mass transit, and other heavy construction projects, as well as all types of general building design and construction.
