When You Need Guidance From the Ground Up

With the experience to handle both straightforward transactions and complex disputes, we provide sound counsel for your construction project during all phases of the process from contract bidding and procurement, insurance coverage and other risk management vehicles, supply-chain and field construction operations, through project close-out.

Construction delays and disputes can cost your company hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. When disputes arise, we are there to help you resolve contentious issues in both state and federal courts. We can develop, present and defend construction claims, as well as those for complex contractual and extra-contractual delay, productivity, and efficiency entitlements.

A successful construction project often requires input from a number of complementary areas of legal practice, such as real estate and real estate finance, insurance coverage and claims assessment, employment or environmental, and the breadth of our expertise means we can assemble the most effective team to ensure your entire project progresses smoothly from the initial ground breaking, all the way through to the ribbon cutting celebration. As always, you benefit from partner involvement on every matter.
