About

Provided by Cozen O'Connor

With more than 60 attorneys practicing in 11 offices throughout the United States, Cozen O’Connor’s Construction Group has the depth and geographical reach to handle our clients’ most complex problems in the United States and abroad. Our attorneys have been in the field, on work sites, and in boardrooms and courtrooms for more than 40 years, so our legal advice is grounded in direct, practical experience. We efficiently analyze the substance of construction-related challenges, help our clients respond in a decisive fashion, and communicate effectively with all parties, from ironworkers and masons to executives, engineers, and experts.

In addition to being experienced trial lawyers, our construction lawyers are also highly experienced in all forms of alternative dispute resolution techniques, including partnering, dispute review boards, mediations, arbitrations, and adjudications. We have successfully tried cases in state and federal courts, and before arbitration tribunals both domestically and abroad. The Construction Group’s attorneys provide the full spectrum of services necessary to serve owners, developers, contractors, construction managers, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers.

Cozen O’Connor’s Construction attorneys are ranked nationally by leading organizations and peer-reviewed publications, including Chambers USA, the Legal 500, and U.S. News/Best Lawyers. Law360 repeatedly has recognized the Construction group as a Practice Group of the Year.
