We have decades of experience representing developers, owners, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, lenders, investors, public companies, sureties and insurers in the construction of hotels, retail centers, office buildings, condos, apartments, roads & bridges, industrial projects, warehouses, car dealerships, luxury homes, airports, roadways, ports, remodels, renovations and other projects. Our attorneys bring in-house experience with construction companies and commercial developers allowing us to anticipate and understand complex issues that arise in construction and engineering projects. We participate in clients’ development process from site acquisition through project completion, including warranty and defects periods. Our experience negotiating and drafting design and construction agreements helps mitigate disputes by clearly defining expectations and allocating responsibilities. When negotiating contracts, we leverage our dispute resolution experience to proactively address risks and advocate our clients’ interests. We are skilled at adapting industry-standard contract forms and crafting custom forms tailored to client risk profiles. We evaluate project circumstances to help clients achieve informed, cost-effective resolutions through early negotiation and alternative dispute resolution. However, when disputes are not resolved amicably, we pursue and defend construction claims in state and federal courts, arbitration and administrative tribunals.
