Skanska announced the promotion of Steven Lunsford and Todd Chayet, both as vice president and assistant general counsel for its USA Civil operations' east and west regions, respectively.

"We are pleased to announce the promotions of two exceptional leaders within Skanska USA Civil, whose contributions have been integral to our success," said Michael Di Paolo, senior vice president and general counsel of Skanska USA Civil. "Their commitment to operational excellence, strong work ethic and exemplary work performance called for these promotions and we look forward to the continued impact they will have on our firm and the industry."

Lunsford has been promoted to vice president and assistant general counsel for significant areas of Skanska USA Civil's east region, which includes projects in the southeast and mid-atlantic (Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, North Carolina and Florida) and the northeast (New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut) business units.

With more than 10 years at Skanska and 17 years of experience in construction law and litigation, Lunsford has served as assistant general counsel for the southeast region since 2014. His role has since expanded to support the Mid-Atlantic region, where he has become a trusted advisor and key business partner, playing a critical role in resolving major claims and negotiating contracts throughout the region.

Chayet has been appointed to vice president and assistant general counsel of Skanska USA Civil's west region. With nearly eight years at Skanska and more than 23 years of experience in construction law, Chayet has played a crucial role as assistant general counsel for the Western region since 2017.

He represents Skanska USA Civil's west coast operations and supports the firm's operations across the region in states such as Washington, California and Arizona.
