General contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, materials suppliers and sureties find our uniquely qualified construction attorneys understand, analyze and act quickly to resolve disputes. We negotiate, litigate, mediate and arbitrate claims arising from construction and building projects. The projects range in size from personal residences to large developments, such as shopping centers and hospitals. We also assist in drafting and negotiating construction contracts and regularly deal with materialmen’s liens — assisting clients in filing, foreclosing and defending against lien claims.

Our construction litigation experience includes handling lawsuits in state and federal courts, proceedings before regulatory and administrative bodies and serving as AAA-certified construction arbitrators. We are familiar with the unique legal issues involved in both representing sureties and bringing claims against them.

Our attorneys are often called upon to speak and write on construction litigation topics and their experience and intimate knowledge of the construction industry can lead to successful results for our clients.
