About
Provided by Epstein Becker & Green PC
The construction or renovation of a building is a complex undertaking, with numerous legal risks and potential pitfalls, requiring the guidance of skilled attorneys to bring the project to a successful conclusion.
Epstein Becker Green attorneys deftly navigate project owner and developer clients in health care, logistics and transportation, multi-family residential, hospitality and entertainment, utility and infrastructure, and other industries through every phase of the construction process, from concept to completion. Among other things, we:
- advise on development planning;
- prepare and negotiate design agreements, construction contracts (including insurance-related provisions), subcontracts, and bids;
- advise on contractor selection, construction insurance, and compliance with environmental, zoning, code, licensing, and other statutory regulations, as well as National Fire Protection Association 101 Life Safety Code requirements;
- assist clients with construction operations, such as change orders, delays, unexpected conditions, and more;
- handle construction-related employment issues; and
- represent clients in design- or construction-related disputes and claims, whether through mediation or arbitration or in court.
With strict timelines and high stakes, construction clients value our ability to speak the language of construction, addressing concerns and practices in a clear and understandable way and giving context for the business decisions they face.
