About

Provided by Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter

Our construction area is well-regarded nationally and has a strong statewide presence. We emphasize practical advice and cost-effective results built upon solid relationships and vast industry experience. This includes deep experience with alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, mediation, summary jury trials and more.

Our construction attorneys provide guidance on a broad variety of claims, from differing site conditions to defaults, as well as defects, delays, disruptions and terminations. We also provide assistance on all aspects of the bidding process, including responsibility + responsiveness, mistaken and conditional bids, and injunctions.

Clients seek out our team for contract issues, such as the review and revision of AIA, AGC, ConsensusDOCS and other trade association forms; design-build, construction manager, architect, contractor and subcontractor agreements; and special clauses, including Green Building, No Damage for Delay and Contingent Payment.

We also assist our clients in complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) regulations and defend against OSHA-issued citations. In addition to claim defense, we carefully craft compliant policies for our clients and conduct OSHA training for their management teams and employees.
