US construction attorney Jerry Brodsky, who has long been recognized for his leadership in guiding some of the most complex infrastructure projects in the Western Hemisphere, has launched Jerry Brodsky Legal , a Miami-based boutique law firm focused exclusively on construction law and dispute resolution across the Americas.
A native of Peru, Jerry Brodsky’s legacy includes serving as a key legal architect behind the resolution that kept the Panama Canal expansion project on track. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, he has advised clients across the US, Latin America and the Caribbean, representing contractors, insurers, developers, and multinational stakeholders navigating high-stakes construction disputes.
“For years, I’ve had the privilege of advising clients through the legal dimensions of transformative projects—bridging cultures, jurisdictions, and technical disciplines. This new venture is about doing that work in a way that is even more agile, personal, and aligned with the evolving needs of the industry,” according to Brodsky.
Brodsky Initially trained in industrial engineering at Lehigh University and was set to return to Peru to work in his family’s textile business. However, political instability led his parents to relocate to Miami.
He gained experience working for a major Florida law firm in the construction law department, based on his engineering background, and he is now a Florida Bar Board-certified specialist in construction law, a fellow of the American College of Construction Lawyers, and president-Elect of the Dispute Resolution Board Foundation.
In addition to his degree in industrial engineering, he gained a Juris Doctorate in law, magna cum laude, from the University of Miami.
His career spans megaprojects involving traditional and public-private financing models, dispute board adjudication in Central and South America, and resolution frameworks for global sporting events in Brazil.
Brodsky is also a frequent speaker and writer on international construction law, procurement, and arbitration. With the launch of Jerry Brodsky Legal, he aims to return to direct collaboration, tailored counsel, and strategic legal solutions built on decades of global experience, serving all sectors of the construction and infrastructure industries.
