About Nathan Cole
I am a trial attorney and experienced construction lawyer with offices in Boston and MetroWest. I concentrate my practice in construction disputes, construction defect cases (both commercial and residential), business litigation, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements, mechanic liens, employment disputes, shareholder disputes, insurance disputes, and personal injury cases. I represent both plaintiffs and defendants in litigation and contract negotiations, claims against insurance brokers, and assist individuals and businesses in a variety of employment, contract, and construction-related disputes.
My goal is to provide the best service I can to my clients, and to work closely with them to win their cases or negotiate the strongest protections and most favorable provisions in their contracts. I strive to immediately return my client’s telephone calls and e-mails. Your case is important, and I will treat you with the respect and focus you deserve!
In the courtroom, I am a focused, prepared, aggressive advocate for my clients. I recently convinced a Massachusetts Superior Court to dissolve a General Laws c. 254 mechanic’s lien on the basis that it had been improperly recorded and violated the highly technical Statute. The decision was significant and was the featured cover story for the June 25, 2018 Massachusetts Lawyer Weekly. I argued that where the home improvement contract upon which the contractor had recorded its lien did not match the subject contract in the litigation, down to the exact dollar amount, it must be dissolved in favor of the homeowner.
I have received numerous recognitions and awards for my work, including a Preeminent AV Rating from Martindale Hubble. I was named to the Massachusetts Super Lawyers list in for 2013-2023 by the publishers of Boston Magazine and have a perfect "10" rating from Avvo. I have also been recognized in The Best Lawyers In America List for 2020-2023. In 2022, I was named a Top Construction Lawyer by Boston Magazine.
I am a Board Member for the Massachusetts Defense Lawyers Association and Chair of the Construction Law Committee, a member of the International Association of Defense Lawyer (Chair of the Construction Law & Litigation Committee), the Massachusetts Bar Association (Judicial Administration Section), and the Boston Bar Association (past Co-Chair of the Professional Liability Subcommittee).
I am a regular speaker and have lectured at various law schools and presented on topics to the Boston Bar Association, MCLE, and IADC, including panel presentations, and have been a trial tactics instructor for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. I have presented and demonstrated on mechanic's liens, delay claims, jobsite safety claims, risk management, and payment disputes. In 2019, I presented on general contractors’ non-delegable duty for jobsite safety at the Annual Meeting of the International Association of Defense Counsel in Asheville, NC. In 2020, I was asked to present at numerous conferences and seminars related to the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Statute, c. 93A, COVID-19 and Business Interruption Insurance Coverage, and Complex Litigation and Discovery.
