Construction Law

In the construction business, every action has a domino effect. If trouble develops in one part of the job, the entire project suffers. A bid protest, a mechanic’s lien, a bond claim — any one of these can stop a project in its tracks, causing even more problems down the chain. As construction law attorneys, we understand how to achieve practical and efficient business solutions to these issues.

We regularly represent developers, lenders, architects, engineers, owners, municipalities, general contractors, and subcontractors in legal issues regarding construction projects throughout New England. Our construction law team can draft and negotiate construction contracts to help prevent disputes from arising. When disputes do arise, the construction law team has extensive experience prosecuting and defending disputes in state and federal courts, and in arbitration and mediation.
