As experienced construction disputes and litigation attorneys capable of handling the most complex matters, we will manage your case skillfully in pursuit of the best possible remedy.
Mechanic’s liens and payment bonds
When you have fulfilled your contractual obligation of providing labor or supplies on a construction project, but haven’t been paid in accord with the contract, our attorneys will help you go after money you are owed. We assist contractors, subcontractors and suppliers working on private and public projects in filing mechanic’s liens and bond payment claims. Our experienced construction lawyers can also defend your rights and interests if another party asserts that nonpayment is based on a lack of performance.
Construction contract drafting and negotiation
Successful construction projects hinge on reliable contracts. Whatever their role, parties should not move forward without an agreement that clearly articulates each side’s rights and obligations. When contract terms are vague and open to divergent interpretations, you can’t be sure what you’re going to get and may not be able to enforce your right to the performance you expected. Our attorneys are experienced at reviewing, negotiating and drafting unambiguous contracts so that terms are clear and reasonable contingencies are addressed.
Regulatory compliance and permits for construction projects
Maintaining compliance with building codes, zoning laws and environmental regulations is critical to keeping projects moving forward. Run afoul of regulatory rules and you risk expensive fines and penalties that could include a project shutdown. Our attorneys will advise you about federal, state and local regulations that apply to your project and help you in pursuing necessary approvals and permits.
