Our construction litigation team is made up of experienced attorneys who understand the issues and complexities surrounding major building projects. We speak your language; with strong backgrounds in real estate, finance and contract law, in-depth knowledge of local regulations and legislation, and real-world experience in related areas of engineering and construction management, we help clients negotiate more effectively the often-thorny path toward dispute resolution.
We represent parties involved in every aspect of the construction industry and on both sides of the negotiating table—including contractors, developers, engineers, investors, lenders, owners, title insurers, trade associations and others. Our clients are involved in projects as wide-ranging as highways, hotels, manufacturing and distribution facilities, office buildings, retail developments, public works, single- and multi-family housing and utilities. We also regularly work with creditors and debtors in construction-related bankruptcies and insolvencies.
Whenever possible, we work with clients to prevent or avoid potential conflicts from arising in the first place. We regularly review and help negotiate clear, understandable contracts in order to minimize the likelihood of confusion or disagreements. When disputes do arise, we work with our clients and parties on the opposite side of the table to reach favorable resolutions that preserve key relationships while minimizing negative publicity. We regularly represent clients in arbitration, mediation and other alternative dispute resolution proceedings.
When litigation is necessary, we have the depth and skill these cases demand. Our attorneys have experience litigating and arbitrating complex construction disputes. We bring and defend all types of construction claims on behalf of owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, construction managers, suppliers, manufacturers, design professionals, risk insurers and sureties.
We regularly represent clients in construction arbitration as well as in litigation. Our attorneys also draft construction and equipment supply agreements, help design and implement dispute resolution procedures, and counsel clients on the management and avoidance of construction claims and disputes.
