About

Provided by Porter Hedges LLP

Porter Hedges attorneys represent contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, sureties, design professionals, construction managers, lenders and owners in resolving complex construction disputes. At trial or in any form of alternative dispute resolution, our lawyers have extensive experience representing large national and multi-national corporations as well as small and mid-sized companies and individuals.

Construction projects are subject to high risk and tight profit margins, and as a result, getting the best results at the lowest cost is our prime consideration. Our litigators effectively manage both the outcome and the costs when disputes occur. We also write and negotiate the contracts to avoid disputes where possible and streamline those which our clients cannot avoid. We manage the process to ensure that the family of contracts which make up a construction project are coordinated.
