Commercial Construction

Home, office and retail construction in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex continues at a furious pace. We have acquired an in-depth appreciation of the issues which typically arise in construction-related transactions from our years of experience representing developers, owners, contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, design professionals, sureties and material fabricators and suppliers on such matters as:

• Construction financing
• Contract negotiation
• Drafting of contract documents
• Public bid protests and disputes
• Strategy with regard to potential disputes
• Contract interpretation and compliance
• Project close-out and settlement
• Achievement of minority participation goals
• Delay and impact claim development and presentation
• Defense of claims
• Compliance with bond and lien statues
• Contract terminations for default and for convenience
• Contractor substitutions
• Labor-management relations

We also regularly represent parties to construction disputes and their sureties in all aspects of dispute resolution including:

• Negotiation
• Litigation in Federal and State trial and appellate courts
• Private and AAA-sponsored arbitration
• Private and court-directed mediation

The expertise of our attorneys who focus on this area of law has resulted in court-appointments as masters, arbitrators and mediators in complex construction cases.
