Construction

Our construction law practice draws upon the expertise of a skilled group of attorneys who are knowledgeable about construction law and have significant experience in the construction industry.

UB Greensfelder’s construction law practice offers a broad range of services. From determining the type of project delivery system through design, engineering, financing, preconstruction, construction, and close-out services, our attorneys work closely with our clients to achieve optimal results. Our team draws on its collective decades of experience to provide industry-focused counsel with efficient and practical solutions.

Our attorneys help clients anticipate problems at the outset, drafting contracts to minimize problems later. When disputes do arise, these attorneys seek the most cost-effective solutions to client challenges, regularly representing clients in mediation and arbitration proceedings arising from disputes. But when litigation is the only reasonable recourse, we also have partners with more than 20 years of experience litigating construction law cases before state and federal courts throughout the country and before various administrative agencies.

Who We Are

UB Greensfelder lawyers know the construction industry inside and out and use that experience when addressing the task at hand. We regularly advise clients on contract preparation and negotiation, bidding issues, change order and claim issues, insurance and surety questions, environmental issues, and dispute resolution. Over the years, the team has assisted and represented clients with projects across the country and worldwide, in the public and private sectors.

How We Help

Our clients range from locally owned contractors and subcontractors, suppliers, engineers, and construction managers to some of the largest nationwide and international contractors, design-builders, and architectural firms, including one of the ten-largest U.S. home developers. In addition, we have represented public and private owners on complex construction projects, including sports arenas, healthcare facilities and parking facilities.

Our attorneys assist clients through all phases of a construction project. We are experienced providing the following services:

  • Determining the type of project, organization, and financing options
  • Drafting contracts for construction, design, engineering, subcontracts, and supply purchase orders
  • Minority business enterprise requirements
  • Bid protests
  • Joint venture agreements
  • Mechanic’s liens and bond claims

  • Development or defense of claims for additional compensation, delays and extensions of time
  • Termination
  • Dispute resolution, including mediation, arbitration, and litigation

Why Clients Choose UB Greensfelder

Claims in the construction industry are common; how clients respond is critical. Claims relating to scope, schedule, contract performance, defaults, design errors/omissions, construction workmanship, liens, and a myriad of other issues can interrupt a business and slow down a project. Regardless of the complexity of the issues at hand, UB Greensfelder can help clients evaluate and identify potential solutions and guide clients through the legal process to resolution, even if that means complex, high-stakes litigation.
