Regardless of where you are in the building process, our lawyers can handle the issues that might arise, from pre-bid and contract negotiations to managing litigation and other matters, such as:

​

• Preparation and negotiation of contracts

• Obtaining and presenting bonds and bond claims

• Insurance disputes

• Construction Litigation

• Environmental, soil, and groundwater issues

• Contract disputes

• Mechanics liens and other encumbrances 

• Design errors and omissions (construction industry professional malpractice)

• Construction risk management

• Construction defects

• Bidding disputes

​

Throughout our representation, we aim to reduce risks and conflicts that might arise during any project. Sometimes these are contract issues, such as extra work and change orders, interference by subcontractors or other entities, construction defects, general delays, or even non-performance. The importance of having a valid, clear, and satisfactory contract cannot be overstated — the agreement sets forth the scope of the project, the schedule for payment, the requirements of the parties, and other items that can help assure a smooth relationship with all involved.

At other times, despite the best of efforts, disputes over a contractor, sub-contractor, or developer’s work can rise to litigation over payment issues, delays, improper design and defect allegations by an owner, failure to observe local, state, or federal building codes or even failure to follow plans or design orders.
