Lawyer
Nancy Demers
What I enjoy most about my practice is definitely my interactions with people. In construction law, I often have the privilege of discussing directly with people on the field and on construction sites.
Passionate about the simple things in life, I love to entertain my family and friends over a good meal. In my spare time, you can easily find me in an art gallery or on the ski slopes in the winter and the bike paths in the summer.
