Construction

Our legal services:

• We provide advice from the initial stage of pre-construction to completion of the project. We anticipate risks and determine appropriate means of resolving problems.
• We handle issues of contract administration that have both legal and financial implications.
• When construction disputes cannot be prevented or resolved through planning or negotiation, the Group is prepared for aggressive prosecution or vigorous defense. Our attorneys represent clients in many state and federal courts and state boards of contract appeals, as well as administrative agencies. 
• Our surety attorneys represent a wide number of companies in contract surety, fidelity, and surety matters.
• Our casualty litigation attorneys handle construction accidents and construction-defect litigation. We have handled cases that include falls from and through scaffolding and other platforms, injuries from materials falling during construction demolition activities, and electrocutions.
• We also handle complex construction defect litigation in cases ranging from HVAC systems which are alleged to have been defectively installed to poor framing or inadequate footing and foundation issues. We also routinely handle issues dealing with indemnification and additional insured status.
• Our Employment and Workers’ Compensation attorneys work closely with the industry to meet the needs of employers and their workforce.
