My main motivation is to be comfortable for travel but still appear professional. Since everyone else is in jeans and polos, I think I'll be fine in jeans and a dress top. I have a button down shirt that I have in mind.
Jeans are acceptable for the construction industry. I've spent years telling stuffy partners at my old firm that as a construction lawyer my clients don't care if I'm in a suit. Jeans and a nice top will be fine.
I’d talk to your boss about it but I wouldn’t go full professional either (even the first time). I’m in manufacturing and assume it’s similar to construction where the industry is generally more casual. Also, flying is so uncomfortable in slacks unless you have like the Spanx or comfy ones!
Yeah I would “warn” your boss (mine would be mad if I showed up casual and didn’t tell her and she was uncomfortable), and then maybe even tell outside counsel if you’d like. It’s an internal meeting so no need to be stuffy. I wear jeans and a tshirt when I go meet my SC/manufacturing colleagues even with OC because that’s also what they’ll be wearing 🤷
We recently did a plant tour with outside counsel - I wore jeans and a company t-shirt because we needed to wear safety goggles and hardhats. One of the outside counsel attorney wore his firm polo and jeans and the other in sport coat, dress pants, and loafers. The guy in the sport coat was most uncomfortable.
