Bruce Rudman comes to the practice of law after spending fourteen years in senior management with a national retail chain. After deciding to go back to school to get his law degree, Bruce graduated at the very top of his class. In his more than eleven years of practice, Bruce has quickly become known among other construction attorneys in the areas of mechanic's lien and construction dispute litigation. Bruce has also defended a number of contractors before the Contractor's State License Board in disciplinary matters. Bruce was elevated to partner in May 2005.

One of the areas of law that Bruce particularly emphasizes is Contractors' Board disciplinary proceedings. In January 2001, Bruce was honored by being featured on the cover of Los Angeles Lawyer Magazine, where an article he wrote along with Sam K. Abdulaziz dealing with Contractor’s disciplinary procedures was published to other attorneys. There are very few lawyers in California who understand and take part in this type of proceeding. Bruce has represented a number of contractors beyond that hearing, in writ proceedings to the Superior Court as well as in appeals to the Court of Appeal. Bruce has also participated in California Supreme Court cases, very important to contractors. In WM. R. Clarke v. Safeco Insurance Company of America, the court abolished the so-called "Pay-If-Paid Clause."

Bruce has also appeared before the Contractor's State License Board, and has been queried by the Registrar and Board members on specific issues regarding arbitration and construction laws. Bruce has also represented the firm at various trade association conventions, speaking to their members on a variety of topics affecting contractors.
