Public and private owners, construction managers, general contractors, including subcontractors and specialty contractors, choose to partner with our attorneys, as do sureties, design professionals, suppliers and insurance companies. Clients choose us to guide them in all phases of their projects, from the initial planning to ribbon-cutting and thereafter. At any phase of a project, we work to produce contracts and resolutions in an efficient, cost-effective manner while also protecting the interests of our clients and advancing their project.
We have decades of broad experience in representing owners in the negotiation and preparation of both pre-construction contracts (including design, consulting and program management agreements) and construction contracts. We regularly assist clients with assembling Requests for Proposals, the RFP process and soliciting bids.
Our clients depend on our technical expertise and systematic approach, which mirrors the precision and processes vital to the successful completion of their project. Our team members are specialized in all phases of construction, including the monitoring and consulting of developers and contractors, and are adept at working with project teams that range from billion-dollar companies to smaller, local construction divisions or companies.
Throughout the process, we handle our clients’ disputes and concerns to minimize the impact on the project. However, when the need arises, we are able to utilize our collective experience and resources to guide clients through mediation, arbitration and litigation matters from contract disputes and delay claims to design errors and product defects. At all times, we are mindful of client legal spending, and present our clients legal strategies that balance cost and effectiveness to deliver the outcomes they seek.
We know the construction industry is constantly evolving, and that emergent industry standards, practices and projects bring with them new legal implications. Our attorneys stay informed and ahead of these emerging legal issues to inform and advise our clients on potential impact to their ongoing and future building projects.
