Our Construction Practice provides clients in the construction industry with comprehensive support and practical, timely advice.
Understanding the unique challenges faced by clients at every level of the construction pyramid, we routinely advise owners, institutional clients, developers, general contractors, design professionals, subcontractors, material suppliers, sureties, construction lenders, and trustees in bankruptcy.
At the front end, we assist and advise with the bidding and tendering process, including RFPs, the choice of appropriate contract delivery models, and the drafting and negotiation of construction contracts.
During and after the construction phase, we provide advice and representation in connection with all construction-related disputes, including payment issues (prompt payment), construction liens, breaches of contractual obligations, disputes involving scope of work, changes, delay and impact claims, design failure, liens, performance and payment bond claims, and breach of trust claims.
We understand the individual needs of our clients and provide practical advice to ensure the best outcome for them.
We direct and guide our clients to the appropriate dispute resolution method, whether negotiation, adjudication, mediation, arbitration or litigation. One of our senior construction lawyers, Anna Esposito, is an experienced mediator and has devoted her practice to mediating construction and infrastructure disputes.
