Construction Contracts, Project Delivery and Risk Management

The best dispute is the one your contract prevents from ever happening.

Owners and contractors who run disciplined businesses think about risk before it becomes a problem, and they want attorneys who do the same. We structure, draft, and negotiate the agreements that govern a project so that risk is properly allocated and your rights are fully protected if something goes wrong.

We advise on all major project delivery methods and business structures — including design-bid-build, design-build, engineer-procure-construct arrangements, construction management, joint ventures, and public-private partnerships — covering prime contracts, subcontracts, risk-transfer provisions, insurance requirements, notice and claim procedures, scheduling and delay terms, penalties for late performance, and compliance with lien and bond laws. As project counsel, we stay involved during project performance to document and preserve claims as they arise to guide your teams every step of the way. The benefit is straightforward: if a dispute becomes unavoidable, you are prepared and your company confronts it from a position of strength rather than scrambling to piece together your rights after the fact.
