Our construction practice brings together contract counsel, arbitration, and courtroom advocacy. We advise clients before agreements are signed and represent them when disagreements arise over the work, payment, or project obligations.
Contracts and project obligations
We draft, review, and negotiate construction contracts, including the scope of work, payment terms, changes to the project, and the parties’ responsibilities. We also advise on existing agreements when disagreements arise during performance.
Our work addresses the relationship between the written contract and the project as performed, including change orders, payment records, and communications about the work.
Construction disputes and arbitration
We represent clients in defect claims, payment disputes, lien matters, and construction arbitration. We prepare the factual and contractual issues for settlement discussions or a contested proceeding.
Construction law is a focus of Eric Brisendine’s civil litigation practice. The firm’s related business and real estate practices support matters involving property interests or broader commercial relationships.
Selected construction litigation
Residential construction defects
The firm’s trial experience includes Lowe v. Triad, a case concerning allegedly defective waterproofing in a residence.
Preparing for a consultation
Tell us about the project, the parties involved, and whether work is ongoing. Mention any lien notices, arbitration demands, lawsuits, or scheduled hearings when you call. We will explain which project records to bring to a meeting.
