Design and Construction Counseling

Our design and construction lawyers provide creative, effective solutions to the complex construction-related problems that owners, architects, engineers, and contractors often face. We understand that the design and construction of a new project is a collaborative process, which works best when each participant's concerns are addressed and risks are properly allocated. We recognize that our clients' success depends on their relationships with others and that, in many instances, arbitration or litigation is not the preferred solution.

Our lawyers provide legal counsel throughout all phases of the design and construction process, including:

• Contract review and negotiation
• Risk management and conflict avoidance
• Project claim review and counseling
• Intellectual property
• Worksite picketing and labor issues
• Mechanic's liens
• All channels of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration
• Litigation and disputes
