Construction law is a specialized area in civil litigation, often having its own rules, technicalities and terms of art. It is important for a client, when choosing a professional, to ensure that there is the knowledge, skill and experience to manoeuvre through the twists, turns and pitfalls which inevitably occur in a construction law dispute. Add to that the vast quantity of documents that flows from most construction projects, and you have a situation that can quickly become overwhelming (not to mention unduly expensive) unless the right "hand" is guiding the process.

Our clients include owners, sureties, contractors and design professionals, and our experience as litigators encompasses trials and appeals of a myriad of construction law issues including delay claims, deficiencies, construction and mechanics' liens, surety bond claims and inadequate/negligent design and specifications.
