Construction

We regularly handle complex construction law matters involving public infrastructure, industrial, and commercial projects. Our clients include public and private project owners, contractors, and subcontractors. We have handled a variety of major projects, including freeways, sewage treatment plants, sewer collection systems, storm drain systems, water pipeline systems, hotels, hospitals, community centers, and convention center expansion projects. We advise clients during the construction process, and represent clients in the mediation, arbitration, and litigation of construction disputes.

We have particular expertise in the unique requirements applicable to public works construction projects. We routinely advise clients on a wide range of public works construction issues, including competitive bidding, contractor licensing, subcontractor bids, stop notices, payment bonds, and prevailing wage laws.

We frequently represent clients in connection with disputes among owners, contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals over the causes of project delay, disruption, and increased costs. We have successfully defended clients against a variety of delay and disruption claims, and prosecuted claims against owners, contractors and design professionals. We have handled many different types of claims, including claims for acceleration, trade stacking, lien and bond enforcement, change orders, defective work, terminations, and liquidated damages.
