Kevin P Wallace

Career

Kevin represents clients throughout the life of a construction project. Before construction begins, he negotiates the relevant contracts, including development agreements (representing either the owner or the developer), agreements with design professionals and consultants, construction management agreements, design build agreements, trade contracts, project labor agreements, access agreements with neighboring property owners, and agreements with public entities like the Port Authority and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).

During construction, Kevin advises clients on issues that may arise, including design errors or omissions, defective work by the construction manager or trade contractors, failure to properly coordinate the work, potential delays to the project, demands by counterparties for additional compensation or time extensions, and threats by the construction manager or trade contractors to stop work.

Kevin also helps clients resolve claims and litigation arising from their projects. His experience includes representing clients in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts, as well as through alternative dispute resolution like mediation and arbitration.
