Construction Litigation

We understand the need to address issues that impact budget and delivery time of projects as early in the process as possible, therefore we are often involved at the outset of construction projects, assisting with contracts and risk management strategies to avoid costly delays and disputes. However, when problems arise, our team of construction litigators stand ready to defend our clients’ interests, confidently and vigorously, whether in court or through some form of alternative dispute resolution. 

We handle all kinds of litigation related to construction projects, including:

  • Contract defaults
  • Contract terminations (for cause and for convenience)
  • OSHA compliance and citations
  • Wage and hour disputes
  • Hazardous materials claims
  • Bond claims
  • Insurance Claims
  • Construction and Design Defects claims

Our construction team has helped clients resolve construction disputes effectively through all stages of alternative dispute resolution, including pre-litigation, litigation, and post-trial.  Bob O’Brien serves on the American Arbitration Association's National Panel of Arbitrators and is frequently selected as a mediator in high-stakes construction disputes both regionally and nationally.
