Focus on Services
Real Estate - Our firm can meet developers’ needs for evaluating and acquiring construction sites, and for working with bankers or financing experts’ onsite purchases.
Environmental - Whether a project encounters environmental issues concerning permitting, cleanup, or prevention, our firm provides advice and solutions to resolve the issue.
Contractual - We assist contractor, developers and owners in the preparation of documentation for acquisition, financing, and documenting performance standards for construction projects. That includes regularly representing and advising developers during pre-construction, construction, and closeout.
Labor and Employment - Contractors and subcontractors often employ many levels of employees and contract laborers, and our lawyers have practical experience at advising contractor clients on all aspects of federal and state regulation of labor and employment matters. That includes wage and hour law, as well as anti-discrimination statutes.
Worksite Safety - Our firm has a strong reputation for defending contractors in workers’ compensation and personal injury claims, and at assisting proactively with ensuring worksite safety (including compliance with OSHA requirements and investigations).
Litigation - We represent general contractors in controversies that involve bid protests and mistakes, cost disputes, design error, defective installation and contract disputes. These disputes typically involve multiple parties and are highly fact-intensive, and we use our industry knowledge to resolve the problem in ways that minimize expense and time for our clients — often through alternative means such as mediation and arbitration.
Other services include:
- Transactional
- Land use
