About
Provided by Hinckley Allen
Hinckley Allen's construction practice stands among the Northeast's most experienced and versatile, with practitioners spanning Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Florida, and beyond. The team guides clients through every phase of a project's life, from contract formation and project delivery structures to the resolution of sophisticated disputes.
The practice serves the full spectrum of the construction industry: heavy civil and general building contractors, specialty trade contractors, institutional owners, private developers, energy services companies, sureties, and insurers. That breadth is matched by genuine depth in claims involving delay, defective work, payment, and contract interpretation, where the team has produced outcomes that have influenced how disputes in the region are tried and resolved.
In 2025, the firm formally launched its Corporate Matters, Governance & Strategic Planning for Construction Businesses Group, extending its counsel into the boardroom alongside the job site. It reflects a deliberate commitment to continue to serve construction clients not just when disputes arise, but as trusted advisors across the arc of their businesses.
The team's reputation has been earned through results — in courtrooms, arbitration panels, and negotiating rooms where it matters most.
