Contract Analysis
We add value to our clients’ “bottom line” by drafting, reviewing and analyzing contracts; and by providing advice for general business and financial matters. Through our experience, we provide adequate contract visibility and oversight to identify and address language, clauses and details to diminish unforeseen conflicts.
Construction Claims
We have extensive experience in preparing and litigating construction claims. We have the ability to analyze all aspects of how our clients have been adversely impacted and delayed on construction projects, and in the preparation of claims for submission in accordance with our clients’ contracts on public and private projects.
Surety
We routinely defend and prosecute claims on labor and material payment bonds and performance bonds. Our experience in these cases and the credibility and trust our firm has built over decades with sureties both locally and nationally has helped our clients immeasurably in the defense or prosecution of surety bond claims.
Appellate Practice
When we undertake representation, we are prepared to represent our clients throughout the trial and appellate process to protect a favorable judgment or correct an unfavorable trial. We quickly identify key issues, frame our arguments in a clear and persuasive style, and assess the best method to protect our clients’ best interests.
