Construction Law
Girvin & Ferlazzo believes that the effective resolution of a construction dispute requires a law firm whose lawyers have experience in all aspects of a wide range of construction projects and the laws that govern those projects.
Our firm represents public and private owners, developers, architects, engineers, construction managers, contractors, and subcontractors at every stage of construction projects. We pride ourselves on a results-oriented focus to provide our clients with the best possible outcome in the most cost-effective manner.
Our attorneys have the experience to advise our clients at every stage of the construction project from the beginning of the project, including the negotiation, drafting, and revision of AIA contracts and other project documents, to the contract close-out. During this process, we work diligently to identify and resolve potential problems before they occur to minimize the risk of litigation.
When litigation becomes necessary, our lawyers have extensive experience in resolving disputes through successful negotiations, mediations, hearings before arbitration panels, and trials in both federal and state court. In this regard, our representation of clients has included both prosecuting and defending claims involving payment delay, construction disputes, defective design claims, professional malpractice, mechanic’s lien and foreclosure suits, warranty and surety claims, breach and termination of contract disputes, public bidding matters, indemnification claims, and insurance claims.
