Frequently Asked Questions
Construction attorneys are legal practitioners who advise clients on contracts, maintain compliance with construction laws, and represent clients in disputes related to payment, delays, defects, or contract breaches.
Ideally, a construction attorney should be present at the start of the project. Involving them early helps avoid contract issues, manage compliance, and manage risk before problems arise.
There are various ways to deal with such issues. Our payment dispute legal services help you enforce lien rights, negotiate a settlement, or file a claim through litigation or arbitration. Our construction attorneys can help assess your best path forward.
Connect with us so we can help evaluate your contract for delay clauses, document impacts, and pursue compensation or defenses, depending on your role in the project.
Also known as a mechanic’s lien, a construction lien enables contractors or suppliers to claim a legal interest in a property in the absence of payment. Note that filing and enforcing liens come with strict compliance with legal deadlines and procedures.
Yes. Our construction contract legal support spans drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts to help protect your interests and reduce risk throughout the project lifecycle.
Payment issues, construction defects, project delays, design errors, contract breaches, and scope disputes are the most frequent triggers.
