SEATTLE – Truss Faber PC, a construction and manufacturing law firm, has opened a new office in Anchorage, Alaska, expanding the firm’s capacity to serve clients in construction, manufacturing, architecture, engineering, government contracting and related sectors operating in remote and highly regulated markets. The Anchorage office builds on the firm’s experience advising clients in complex jurisdictions and reflects a long-term commitment to supporting Alaska-based and Alaska-connected projects.

"We are excited to extend our presence to Anchorage formally,” said Truss Faber founding attorney John Theiss. "With specialized experience helping clients navigate the unique conditions that make remote projects especially complex, establishing a presence in Anchorage was the clear next step. We’re looking forward to supporting contractors, manufacturers and projects tied to Alaska.”
Truss Faber attorneys bring long-standing experience navigating the regulatory, contractual and logistical challenges that often arise in remote, highly regulated locations. Several team members have represented, negotiated and litigated matters in Alaska and other remote regions, including cases that resulted in milestone decisions for government contractors and were recognized by the American Bar Association.
Alaska has seen a steady pipeline of infrastructure, energy and public works projects that require specialized legal guidance. Industry observers note that contractors operating in the state often face complex permitting rules, environmental compliance requirements and supply-chain hurdles caused by geography. By establishing a permanent Anchorage presence, Truss Faber aims to provide on-the-ground counsel rather than relying solely on out-of-state support.
Local stakeholders have long pointed to the limited number of firms with deep construction and government-contracting expertise in Alaska. The new office is expected to bridge that gap and help companies manage risk earlier in the project lifecycle.
Backed by the knowledge and depth of the full firm, Truss Faber’s Anchorage presence combines local engagement with a national bench of specialized construction and manufacturing counsel. For clients operating in, connected to, or dependent on Alaska, the new office complements existing regional resources while enhancing access to legal support that is often difficult to find locally.
Truss Faber has represented clients in large-scale projects worldwide, from major metropolitan areas to remote Antarctica. Attorneys across the firm bring experience spanning government contracting, construction disputes, lease and contract matters, and international trade. With the opening of its Anchorage office, Truss Faber strengthens its ability to support construction and manufacturing clients operating where regulation, geography and risk converge.
Projects in Alaska frequently involve federal agencies, Indigenous corporations and cross-border supply networks, making contract structuring especially sensitive. Legal practitioners say disputes can escalate quickly when delays are caused by weather windows or shipping constraints. Truss Faber indicated that its team has handled precedent-setting cases involving such issues and plans to expand advisory services including compliance audits, claims prevention and alternative dispute resolution.
The firm also expects to collaborate with Alaska-based engineers, architects and trade associations to deliver training on contract best practices and emerging regulatory changes.
The Anchorage launch represents the latest step in Truss Faber’s national growth strategy. Over the past several years, the firm has increased its focus on sectors such as renewable energy facilities, military infrastructure, port modernization and advanced manufacturing plants—areas that align closely with Alaska’s economic priorities.

Legal analysts say demand for construction counsel has risen as federal infrastructure funding flows into the state. Programs supporting rural broadband, airport upgrades and climate-resilient infrastructure require contractors to navigate layered procurement rules. Having attorneys familiar with both Alaska statutes and federal acquisition regulations can reduce costly project interruptions.
Truss Faber emphasized that the office will not operate in isolation but as part of an integrated platform connecting Seattle and Anchorage teams. Clients will have access to specialists in insurance recovery, bond claims, international trade and design-professional liability, services that are often difficult to source locally.
The firm’s experience in remote regions, including work in the Arctic and Antarctica, is expected to inform its Alaska practice. Such projects demand careful planning around mobilization costs, labor availability and environmental stewardship—factors that can determine whether a development remains viable.
Truss Faber PC provides legal counsel to the construction and manufacturing industries and companies involved in government contracts. Located in Seattle and Anchorage, Truss Faber’s senior-level team has in-depth experience ranging large metropolitan areas to remote, highly regulated areas. With a proven track record of prioritizing results and efficiency over red tape, Truss Faber delivers clever solutions to complex legal problems.
