As a premier litigation firm, we realize tough issues often face our construction clients including defective construction, performance and payment disputes, mechanics liens, OSHA compliance, insurance and regulatory requirements, and catastrophic injury claims. By challenging ourselves to stay abreast of and, where possible, ahead of industry and legal trends, we are able to counsel our clients on the most effective approaches to risk management, dispute resolution, and where necessary, litigation.
