Construction Law

The lawyers at CBTP are recognized as some the most formidable lawyers in the industry.

We bring decades of experience to key stakeholders in the construction industry to assist them in all aspects of construction, from contract formation to the resolution of claims that arise long after a project is completed. We primarily advise owners, developers, public entities, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, surveyors and manufacturers in resolving construction delay claims, construction site accident claims, catastrophic failures during construction, and construction defect claims on both private and public projects. In all instances, we aim to find cost effective solutions and strive for early resolution, however, when the need arises, we have the experience to handle claims through conclusion in both arbitration and trial.

Our attorneys have an intimate knowledge of all aspects of construction, including earth moving, deep foundations and subsurface construction, concrete steel-reinforced construction, ironwork, conventional framing, all aspects of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, exterior cladding including curtain walls, window walls and conventional fenestration systems, and all types of roofing systems from proprietary systems to built-up roofing and shingles. We have experience in all types of construction from single family homes, apartments, condominiums, commercial office buildings, schools, industrial buildings and large infrastructure projects.

In our construction law practice, we also counsel clients in the formation of entities, compliance with administrative regulations, risk management and allocation, acquisition of insurance, employment related matters and product development. We represent a broad range of clients from small start-up companies to large nationwide builders and we provide all clients the same level of care and attention.
