An Elevated Need For Effective Representation
The business of construction has always given rise to significant legal issues. Today, the increasing complexity of the building process has intensified the need for effective representation. Our construction attorneys understand all aspects of the construction process in order to seek the best result for DBL Law clients. We understand the pace at which construction projects move and respond efficiently and effectively. We operate with the philosophy that helping clients structure their operations to avoid disputes is the best way to help their business keep running smoothly.

Experienced in Resolving and Litigating Disputes
We operate with the philosophy that helping clients structure their operations to avoid disputes is the best way to help their business keep running smoothly. But, when conflicts do arise, we draw on our extensive experience in assisting clients in the swift resolution of their disputes. We have participated in construction litigation at the local, state and federal level. We also encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques, such as mediation and arbitration, when they are appropriate to our clients’ interests, and may result in a more timely and economical disposition.

Representing A Variety Of Client Types
We represent a wide range of individuals and companies in the construction and construction-related industries including:

  • Construction management and design-build firms
  • Contractors and subcontractors
  • Material suppliers
  • Architects and engineers
  • Real estate owners
  • Insurers

Experience Spanning A Variety of Matters
Our experience extends to all phases of the construction process and a wide variety of legal areas affecting clients, including:

  • Contract management, including specifications, preparation and negotiation
  • Negotiation and resolution of claims and disputes
  • Dispute arbitration
  • Project financing and bonding
  • Bidding and Requests For Proposal matters
  • Debtor-creditor and financing issues
  • Insurance and professional liability issues
  • Property acquisition
  • Construction site accidents
  • Employee and independent contractor issues
  • Regulatory permitting and compliance
  • Licensing and disciplinary actions
  • Zoning and governmental matters

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
We take a cross-discipline team approach to guiding clients through the complex construction legal landscape. Our attorneys draw upon the resources available in other DBL Law practice groups, combining strengths, experience and depth of knowledge for the greater benefit of our clients. DBL Law practice groups often teaming with Construction Law attorneys include Banking & Commercial, Business Organizations & Taxation, Civil Litigation, Employment & Labor, and Real Estate.
