We routinely represent clients in the construction industry including construction companies, developers, homebuilders, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and owners. We work with our construction clients throughout the lifecycle of their projects, including pre-project planning and structuring, entity formation, contract negotiation, construction, disposition, removal of mechanics’ liens, dispute resolution, and litigation.

As a business attorney, we have a broad range of construction law experience. For example, we regularly negotiate and prepare joint construction and development agreements between developers, homebuilders, and local governmental entities regarding the construction and installation of infrastructure and utilities. We also counsel our clients with regard to construction contracts, mechanics’ and other liens, subcontractor agreements, Registrar of Contractors complaints and filings, Prompt Pay Act issues, construction defect litigation, and government and municipal contracts.
