Construction Claims and Disputes

Construction disputes can arise at any stage of a project. A payment disagreement or delay claim can quickly affect schedules, costs, and business relationships. Whether you are pursuing a claim or defending against one, we work alongside you to evaluate the issues, protect your position, and develop a strategy that supports your goals.

Disputes present different challenges at every stage. You may be reviewing contract requirements, analyzing project documentation, preparing for negotiations, or facing litigation in court or private arbitration. We represent owners, contractors, subcontractors, and public entities in payment disputes, delays, mechanic’s liens, bond claims, and other construction-related matters.

Some disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. Others require arbitration, litigation, or proceedings before administrative agencies. Construction disputes also frequently involve real estate, environmental, or employment issues. We collaborate with attorneys across the firm to address issues beyond the construction dispute itself.

Business priorities shape every dispute. You may want to preserve a valuable project relationship, recover payment, or defend against a significant claim. We start by understanding what you want to accomplish and developing a strategy that aligns with those goals. As the matter progresses, we continue working with you to make informed decisions while protecting both your project and your business interests.
