Construction Litigation

The Firm has represented developers, owners, general contractors, subcontractors, engineers and suppliers in litigation throughout the state concerning the construction of commercial, industrial and residential buildings and facilities.
We assist clients in construction-related legal matters such as contract drafting and negotiation, risk management and litigation avoidance, bidding and construction phase issues, insurance coverage, surety/bond issues, defense of construction claims, defense of personal injury claims and environmental problems related to construction.
Filing a lien is often the only way a contractor, sub-contractor or design professional can secure payment from a project owner. Our firm has extensive experience enforcing liens, as well as defending them.
Our construction law practice includes civil litigation in state and federal courts, dispute resolution, mediation and arbitration.
