About
Provided by Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC
Baker Donelson's construction team advises on all phases of construction projects across the United States and in international venues, from design and planning to contract negotiation, bidding, construction, E&O defense, insurance coverage and claims, surety and bond matters, and dispute avoidance and resolution. Our clients include nearly every participant in the construction and development process: owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, equipment lessors, design professionals, sureties, insurers, and consulting and management firms.
Our team includes attorneys with engineering backgrounds and experience designing HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems. Several are LEED Accredited Professionals and Fellows of the American College of Construction Lawyers. We have developed particular experience in health care, hospitality, higher education, manufacturing, infrastructure, disaster recovery, government contracts, and power generation projects.
We counsel on every phase of project execution, including licensing, insurance requirements, indemnity provisions, liquidated damages, performance guarantees, and LEED-related issues. We represent clients in a wide range of disputes – from bid protests and delays to defective design and environmental hazards – in courts nationwide, before administrative bodies, and in mediation and arbitration. We also have deep experience handling liability claims involving architects and engineers.
