Jason Hirshon is a Partner at Hirshon Lerner Hutchinson in Portland and an experienced construction, real estate, and business disputes lawyer. Over the past 20 years, he has developed a practice focused on helping contractors, developers, property owners, and business clients resolve complex disputes through litigation, negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.
Construction law forms a significant part of Jason’s practice. He handles construction defect litigation on behalf of both homeowners and contractors and advises clients in disputes involving contracts, real estate, and related business issues. His broader litigation experience includes partnership and corporate dissolutions, collections, general business and tort litigation, and securities class actions.
In addition to representing clients as an advocate, Jason serves as both a mediator and arbitrator. His dispute resolution work complements his litigation practice and gives him experience approaching complex matters from multiple perspectives, whether the goal is negotiated resolution or formal adjudication.
As a small business owner himself, Jason brings a practical understanding of the commercial pressures facing contractors, developers, and entrepreneurs. He emphasizes clear communication and practical problem-solving, with a particular focus on explaining complicated legal issues in straightforward terms and protecting the investments clients have made in their businesses and projects.
Jason earned his J.D. from UC Davis School of Law and his B.A. in Psychology from the University of Colorado Boulder. He is admitted to practice in Oregon and Washington and has been recognized by Super Lawyers as both a Rising Star and a Super Lawyer. He is also active in the legal community, including leadership roles with the American Bar Association and the Oregon State Bar.
