Construction and Real Estate Disputes

Our attorneys have established a long and successful record representing clients in disputes arising from large construction projects and complex real estate transactions.

In the construction industry, we frequently have represented general contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers, either suing for non-payment and consequential damages, or defending against delay and defect claims. The types of projects have included commercial office buildings, governmental facilities, factories, hospitals, and wastewater management plants. While every project and every case is different, our experience permits us to focus quickly and efficiently on the themes and issues that arise in most construction disputes.

In the world of commercial real estate, we have represented owners, tenants, brokers, sales agents, property managers, banks and appraisers in a wide variety of lawsuits, including breach of contract cases, errors and omissions actions, and fraud claims. As in construction litigation, our clients may be either plaintiffs or defendants.

Our goal in every case is to achieve the desired result in a cost-efficient manner. Most cases settle before trial. We firmly believe, however, that the best settlements are achieved when the opposition knows that we are prepared to try a case. More often than not, our expertise as trial lawyers leads to a favorable settlement. If trial is necessary, we expect to succeed.
