Construction Contracts & Risk Management

Construction Contracting

We help our clients by reviewing, negotiating, and drafting the various documents utilized in construction projects including, but not limited to, contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, joint venture agreements, change orders, insurance and indemnity requirements, consents to assignment, releases, and mechanics’ lien waivers. With our deep knowledge of the construction industry, combined with our experience litigating issues related to contractual language, we create construction documents that fit our clients’ specific needs, minimizing their risk and exposure, and, ultimately, avoiding future disputes. We do so by harnessing our collective knowledge from both our transactional and litigation work with owners, developers, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers giving us a unique perspective on contracting issues. Our goal is to proactively identify potential issues to keep a project on track.

Project Consulting

Given our unique perspective created through the representation of all of the different players on a construction project, our attorneys know the realities of construction projects and the legal issues that commonly arise. We counsel clients from bidding and preconstruction through the end of the warranty period and beyond to ensure that their interests are protected. If problems do arise, as they do on most construction projects, we can assess them quickly and assist in making the tactical and strategic decisions necessary to help clients resolve disputes and to avoid costly litigation. We are only a phone call away.
