Construction Law & Mechanic’s Liens
Construction Law & Mechanic’s Liens
We represent developers, contractors, subcontractors, lenders, and property owners in all phases of construction projects, from contract negotiation to dispute resolution. Our deep understanding of the construction process allows us to proactively identify risks, protect our clients’ interests, and keep projects on track.
Pre-Construction & Contract Negotiation
We help structure clear, enforceable agreements that minimize ambiguity and reduce the likelihood of disputes. Our services include:
- Drafting and negotiating construction contracts
- Subcontractor and supplier agreements
- Risk allocation and insurance coverage analysis
- Lien waiver and indemnity provisions
- Project delivery structuring (design-build, CM at-risk, etc.)
Disputes & Mechanic’s Liens
When issues arise during or after construction, we work to resolve them efficiently, through negotiation when possible, or litigation when necessary. We regularly handle:
- Payment and performance disputes
- Delay claims and construction defects
- Enforcement and defense of mechanic’s liens
- Breach of contract and warranty claims
- Bond claims and lien priority disputes
Whenever possible, we help clients avoid the cost and disruption of litigation by guiding them through productive negotiations and alternative dispute resolution. If court intervention becomes necessary, we are experienced advocates in both state and federal forums.
