Frank has been litigating commercial cases for over 40 years. Much of his practice is devoted to construction matters, where he regularly represents owners and developers, contractors, suppliers, sureties and lenders at every level of the construction process. Frank also handles all types of contract claims, shareholder and partnership disputes, competition and trade regulation matters, real estate controversies and lender liability cases. He has extensive experience in arbitrations and trials in state and federal courts in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and in appellate arguments before the New Hampshire Supreme Court and the First Circuit Court of Appeals. Frank also serves as an adjunct professor in the Construction Management program at Southern New Hampshire University, as a panelist on the American Arbitration Associations roster of construction arbitrators, and as a Superior Court mediator.
Before moving to New Hampshire in 1987, Frank practiced with law firms in Washington, DC and New Haven, CT, and served as Associate General Counsel for a national trade association in New York City.
