We have handled a wide variety of construction claims, including payment and performance bond claims, lien claims and claims for warranty, liquidated damages, defective design, defective workmanship and delay. We have also handled bid protests, payment and collection disputes, and insurance and bond disputes. Finally, we act as arbitrator and mediator to resolve construction disputes.

The Firm represents a number of private and public development owners, general contractors and subcontractors.
