Jacob Bolinger

Jake Bolinger focuses his practice in the areas of construction and government contracts, advising clients on contract drafting, negotiation, and administration, regulatory compliance, delay disputes, changes, requests for equitable adjustment and claims, and related litigation. His work spans sizable and sophisticated military, transportation, nuclear, data center, and other critical infrastructure projects, including public and private construction projects. 

Before entering private practice, Jake worked as a project management consultant supporting government contractors with Earned Value Management requirements and project controls. Among other support, his work included risk assessments, schedule development, updates, and analyses, and change management. This experience enables him to identify potential execution challenges early and craft pragmatic solutions for contractors, designers, and owners—providing a full-spectrum perspective on risk allocation and dispute avoidance across all phases of project delivery.

An active participant in the firm’s Nuclear Energy Practice Group, Jake received his certification for the International Nuclear Law Essentials program conducted by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Nuclear Energy Agency in the Spring of 2025.

Prior to joining Haynes Boone, he served as a judicial clerk for Judge Robert J. Humphreys on the Court of Appeals of Virginia.
