Construction projects move fast, and the decisions you make early can shape outcomes for years. We work with owners, contractors, and developers across the industry on the legal issues that affect project delivery and long-term performance.
Our focus
Built around the realities of construction.
Construction projects are shaped by decisions made well before work begins. Procurement strategy and contract structure establish how risk will be allocated as the project moves forward. Compliance obligations continue throughout the work, often influencing how the project is administered and how unexpected conditions are addressed.
We advise owners and developers from planning through completion. Contractors and subcontractors rely on us during project execution, while design professionals and public entities turn to us when their responsibilities affect delivery. We help clients structure agreements and respond to issues as they arise. When disputes emerge, we help determine the best path forward.
Our experience reflects the range of the industry. We advise on building projects, including education facilities and data centers. Our infrastructure work includes wastewater systems, while our transportation team supports highway and other publicly funded construction.
More than 20 professionals contribute to our Construction practice, which Chambers USA has ranked for Construction in Pennsylvania for two consecutive years. That depth allows us to bring the right legal perspective to each project while keeping our advice connected to the business behind it.
Commercial building projects bring together significant investment and many project participants. We advise owners and construction professionals on the legal matters affecting vertical development.
Disputes can arise at any stage of a construction project. We work with clients to evaluate claims, resolve disputes efficiently, and remain prepared when litigation or arbitration becomes necessary.
Projects often require ongoing legal counsel as work progresses. We handle compliance, documentation, project administration, and changing conditions throughout construction.
Environmental requirements can affect every phase of a construction project, from site selection through completion. We address environmental matters while keeping your project on schedule.
Infrastructure and industrial projects require careful planning and ongoing compliance. Our experience includes data centers and wastewater systems, along with other facilities that support essential operations.

Focusing on commonwealth and local agency procurement, we advise public entities, including school districts and municipalities, as well as contractors and suppliers on procurement strategy, bidding, contract performance, compliance, and payment issues.
Construction projects often begin with real estate decisions involving acquisitions, development, and financing. Our attorneys work closely with clients to move projects forward from planning through completion.
Transportation projects involve agency oversight, public funding, and specialized procurement. We represent contractors and public entities on matters affecting highways, bridges, and transit systems.
