Construction and Commercial Roofing

We advise owners, design professionals, and builders through every phase of their construction projects, and, when disputes arise involving payment, delay, site conditions, or defects, we aggressively pursue our clients’ interests in mediation, arbitration, and litigation.

We understand that the success of your project depends on your ability to manage risk and the evolving dynamics of communication, cost, scope, quality, time, and safety. Our construction clients benefit from the firm’s strong banking, mid-market corporate, employment and labor, real estate and energy, tax, and wealth management practices.

Our attorneys know construction. We regularly handle bid protests; claims involving withheld superior knowledge and negligent misrepresentation; mechanic’s liens, bond claims, and general payment disputes; disruption, delay, and inefficiency claims; differing site conditions; and matters involving defective products, work, or design.
