Attorneys in Taft’s Construction practice advise industry participants, including owners, contractors, design-builders, developers, architects, subcontractors, engineers and material suppliers, on all aspects of public and private construction projects.
While our priority is to implement approaches that minimize disputes and to negotiate workable settlements when disputes arise, we have achieved successful results before courts, arbitrators and contract appeals boards with respect to all types of claims, including payment, performance and insurance coverage disputes. We help our clients determine the most effective contracting approach to achieve project objectives, such as integrated project delivery, CM at risk and other non-traditional contracting structures, wrap-up insurance programs, building information management (3D project models), “lean construction” or enhanced participation of disadvantaged business entities.
Our construction attorneys also coordinate closely with other Taft attorneys who have extensive experience in other aspects of construction project development, including project feasibility, tax considerations, brownfields and other environmental issues, zoning, joint ventures, financing options and negotiations, governmental incentives and leasing.
