Fox Rothschild’s nationwide construction practice has a deep bench of attorneys who represent clients across industry segments, helping them complete large, small and midsized projects in the United States and internationally.
Among the nation’s deepest construction practices, we help clients mitigate risk and overcome challenges, guiding them through difficult circumstances by harnessing the combined strength of an experienced group of attorneys serving all segments of the construction industry.
With first-hand industry experience, our attorneys help clients evaluate and mitigate risk on construction contracts from start to finish. While we have successfully handled many large and complex construction disputes in court and alternative dispute resolution forums, we have been equally successful in helping our clients avoid disputes by minimizing the risk of costly mistakes and litigation throughout a project. Our team regularly advises and represents clients regarding the formation, negotiation, drafting, review and interpretation of construction and design professional contracts. We help businesses navigate a full range of complex contract provisions and issues, including risk allocation, insurance, claims avoidance, compliance, project documentation, contract changes, differing site conditions, delays, scheduling, acceleration, terminations, and defective design and workmanship claims.
Our practice is backed by a full service firm with national resources.
