Cassidy R. Rosenthal is a construction and commercial attorney who advises owners, developers, and contractors on complex construction matters, with particular experience supporting large-scale data center and infrastructure projects.
Cassidy guides clients through the full lifecycle of construction projects—from early-stage contracting and risk allocation through project execution and dispute resolution. She regularly works with industry-standard and bespoke construction agreements, including EPC, design-build, and construction management structures. Cassidy is known for her collaborative style and ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for business teams.
A significant portion of Cassidy’s experience involves data center development, where she assists clients navigating the legal and commercial challenges unique to high-value, time-sensitive, and technically complex facilities. Her work includes supporting data center owners and developers on contractor and vendor agreements, coordinating with multidisciplinary project teams, and addressing issues related to commissioning, delays, and compliance with project requirements. Cassidy helps clients navigate sophisticated projects while protecting schedule, cost, and performance with a practical, solutions-oriented approach.
In addition to transactional support, Cassidy represents clients in construction-related disputes, including claims arising from delays, defective work, payment issues, and contract interpretation. She has litigated and arbitrated disputes with successful jury and arbitrator awards that included recovery of attorney’s fees and interest.
Cassidy is a leader both at the firm, serving as Stites & Harbison’s Lexington Office Executive Member, and in the community. She is a Fellow of the American College of Construction Lawyers and serves on ACCL’s Board of Governors, serves on the Governing Committee of the American Bar Association’s Forum on Construction Law, is a Director of the Associated General Contractors of Kentucky, and is a past Chair of Commerce Lexington.
