David Suchar and Jason Lien Named Stand-Out Lawyers for 2026 by Thomson Reuters

February 11, 2026

Maslon is pleased to announce that David Suchar and Jason Lien have been recognized as Stand-Out Lawyers by Thomson Reuters for the third consecutive year. Both were independently nominated as one of the three most outstanding lawyers their clients worked with as part of Thomson Reuters’ global research with senior in-house counsel.

David is a partner, vice chair of Maslon's Board of Directors and Executive Committee, and co-chair of Maslon's Construction & Real Estate Litigation Group. A skilled trial attorney and former federal prosecutor, he regularly represents clients in construction and insurance coverage disputes and a variety of commercial litigation. David is a Fellow of the American College of Construction Lawyers and the American College of Coverage Counsel—one of just three lawyers in the U.S. invited to join both organizations. David was recognized by Chambers USA as one of seven Minnesota lawyers ranked Band 1 for Construction (2025) and Best Lawyers as the 2026 Lawyer of the Year (top ranked attorney) for Construction Litigation in the Minneapolis region. Who's Who Legal/Lexology named him one of nine U.S. attorneys to receive the 2026 Client Choice Award for excellence in construction law and described him as "an impressive trial lawyer whose practice spans the spectrum of construction matters from insurance to payment claims." David was also listed by Lawdragon in its 500 Leading Litigators in America ranking for 2026.

Jason, partner and co-chair of the Construction & Real Estate Litigation Group, focuses his practice on representing clients from the construction, real estate, financial services, food, and railroad industries. He regularly appears in federal and state court on behalf of design-build firms, general contractors, architects, engineers, specialty contractors, suppliers, property management companies, real estate owners, and lenders. Jason has also been ranked by Chambers USA in construction law since 2016. Prior to joining Maslon in 2002, Jason honed his trial and appellate skills as a Naval Officer with the United States Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps, where he led several courts-martial, administrative hearings, and military appeals.
