Tiffany C.
Raush

Position
Partner
Office
Houston

Tiffany Raush is a partner on the Construction Team. She focuses on complex construction disputes.


Tiffany counsels construction clients through all phases of projects, including contract negotiation, project execution, and dispute resolution. Her clients are primarily in the industrial, petrochemical, and energy industries as well as infrastructure sectors. Tiffany represents EPC contractors, design professionals, general contractors, and subcontractors in a broad range of multimillion-dollar, time-sensitive matters involving delays, acceleration, productivity losses, scope increases, change orders, and nonpayment on projects often exceeding a billion dollars in value.

Tiffany’s recent engagements include negotiating a $20 million EPC contract for an industrial project, negotiating a $50 million EPC contract for an offshore wind project, pre-dispute counseling for the design-builder on a $2 billion infrastructure project, pre-litigation counseling for the EPC contractor on $28 million in claims against the owner, pre-litigation counseling for the EPC contractor on a $2 billion LNG facility, litigation related to a $35 million subcontract, litigation related to a $25 million fabrication contract on a $2 billion industrial project, and litigation related to a multibillion-dollar water infrastructure project.

Tiffany’s practice is national and international in scope, with projects across the United States and Canada. She recently spent nearly a year seconded to a top-ranked international design and construction client, serving as its in-house managing counsel directly responsible for all US and Canadian construction projects.

Tiffany is regional director of the Gulf Coast Region of the Society of Construction Law-North America in Houston, Texas; a member of the board of the Rice Global Engineering & Construction Forum, where she serves as committee chair for the Rice Student Engagement Committee; and managing editor of Construction Law Update, an annual publication by Wolters Kluwer. She is a frequent presenter and author on legal issues affecting the construction industry. Tiffany’s industry acumen earned her accolades as a “Next-Generation Partner in Construction” by The Legal 500 United States in 2022.
