Construction

Our real estate development and construction practice serves all facets of the construction industry, but our practice is focused on legal services to owners of construction projects. Over the past five years, we have provided construction law services to a client base that includes more than 20 school districts and municipalities as construction owners.

Our services to school districts and municipalities commence with the negotiation of an agreement with the architect, engineer, or other design professional. We provide legal counsel on the competitive bidding statutes and regulations under which public owners procure construction services on public works projects. We understand the legal framework within which irresponsible bidders may be disqualified.

We participate in the negotiation and execution of construction contracts and other contract documents necessary for projects to proceed in a timely manner and within cost estimates. When disputes arise, we counsel our clients on negotiation strategies, and we prosecute litigation, arbitration, other forms of dispute resolution, and surety bond claims, as required.
