Issues will arise on every construction project, from the simplest residential addition to the most complex multi-prime construction project.
Disputes can come up at any time in the project: before construction starts, during the bidding process or in connection with permits and approvals; or during the course of construction, due to delays in performance or payment, cost overruns, or missing or defective work or materials; or after construction is supposedly complete, if punch list work remains to be done or final inspections require further work. Some disputes involving latent or hidden defects may not arise until years after construction is complete.
Our attorneys have many years of experience in resolving all kinds and sizes of construction disputes. These include straightforward payment claims, as well as complex claims involving disputed change orders, project delays, design and/or construction errors, and lost profits. Our clients have included corporate and institutional owners, developers, bond sureties, surety consultants, general contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, and design professionals. We have represented these clients before a wide variety of courts and administrative bodies. We have also achieved successful resolutions without litigation, through contractual or court-ordered mediation and arbitration.
