Construction projects can be complex undertakings. They may involve potential health risks, regulatory compliance issues, building codes, and other administrative matters. To properly execute construction plans, those responsible for the project must file the correct documentation, ensure the drafting of proper documents, purchase insurance coverage, follow safety regulations, and apply for government permits. 

Because massive amounts of money may change hands during a construction project, the potential for civil liability is always present. Disputes arise out of the application and enforcement of safety  regulations, contract violations, labor, unfair competition, and there are state and city ordinances that must be accommodated.

Litigation is often costly and time-consuming. The majority of stakeholders in construction disputes understand that it’s a marathon and not a sprint and, would rather see disputes settled quickly than dragged through the courts at great expense. Moreover disputes involving employees can have a negative impact on your business’s reputation and financing disputes can create unnecessary delays in the process of development where each day costs both time and money, which we work with you to minimize.
