Our Services

My Approach to Construction law

I seek to understand the concerns and positions of every party to a dispute, what each one wants, and what they actually need. Above all, My duty is to your clients, keeping them aware of the requirements laws and regulations make on them.

Many different kinds of clients need the support of experienced construction law experts.

Industry professionals come to us for legal assistance at any stage of the process, from project negotiation to post-construction. I also provide advise on mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR), when these methods are likely to offer better results than litigation for your clients.  

Your clients:

  • Owners and Developers

Owners come from all walks of life, and their projects are equally varied. They might need assistance with a single-family home or a multi-family and mixed-use development, or even a big public infrastructure project. They might be building a boutique restaurant or a luxury hotel. No matter who they are or what they are building, your clients want quality work at a reasonable price. That is exactly what I provide.

  • Commercial Contractors

Contractors are all about dispute avoidance – they can only make money when they are building, so spending time chasing debts and disputes represents a loss. We help them by crafting contracts that are better at avoiding disputes later. If a dispute does arise, we deal with it quickly, efficiently and in a way which minimizes bad feelings on all sides. 

  • Engineers and Architects

From professional liability insurance issues to questions of standard of care, and from waivers and limitation of claims to fair and equitable damages, I understand the legal issues design professionals face on a daily basis. I take care of that, and let you focus on the work that inspired your firm.

Some of the most common construction law matters we handle include:​

  • Surety bonds
  • Property damage
  • Product failure or warranty claims
  • Personal injury
  • Insurance claims
  • Design or construction flaws
  • Delays or interruption of business
