Construction

Decades of construction industry experience – representing owners, contractors, and subcontractors – means that ASM’s Construction practice group speaks the language of construction, and its attorneys can effectively counsel clients from project inception through final close-out.

At the contracting phase, ASM is intimately familiar with multiple project delivery methods and can negotiate and draft agreements that minimize risk well before shovels are in the ground. When issues arise during construction, ASM’s construction knowledge allows it to give immediate advice on best approaches to overcome complex challenges and to avoid needless delay and interruption. When disputes arise, ASM helps its clients draft or respond to claims, and resolve disputes through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, and litigation.

ASM knows the pressure points and the strategies that will solve many disputes quickly, early and inexpensively – often before litigation. But when battles must be fought and won, ASM goes toe-to-toe with some of the biggest and best firms in the country. All of ASM’s lawyers – from the most senior to the most junior – have real-world courtroom experience. ASM is known and respected in state and federal courts in the Washington, DC metropolitan region and across the country, and its lawyers frequently appear before government bodies and private tribunals, including the American Arbitration Association.
