Construction Claims, Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Every construction dispute is, at its core, a business problem.

A withheld payment, a contested change order, a contractor default, or a wrongful project termination does not just threaten a single job — it ties up capital, impacts bonding capacity, limits your ability to take on new work, damages key relationships, and puts future opportunities at risk. We approach those matters the way our clients run their companies: with a clear focus on protecting the business, not just the legal matter.

Before we file any legal action or send a formal demand, we become part of your team: we learn your contract, your schedule, and your costs. Then we advise on the most efficient way to leverage the strengths of your legal position to obtain the most favorable outcome — through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or trial – with minimum disruption to your business and distraction from operations When a matter demands a fight, we bring the deep knowledge that decides construction cases: delay and inefficiency claims, unforeseen site conditions, defective work, design deficiencies, payment and lien disputes, bond defaults, and the appeals that often follow.

We represent general contractors, subcontractors, private and public owners, developers, and sureties in every sector of the construction industry, including commercial, residential, institutional, healthcare, hospitality, transportation, energy, infrastructure, and public works projects. Because we have stood on every side of those disputes, we anticipate the opposing party’s strategy before it arrives. From an emergency court order to a multi-week trial, to an appeal that changes how a statute is applied, our clients get the same thing every time: a firm that thinks like a business owner and litigates with force.
