The Significance of Hiring a Construction Litigation Attorney for Your Commercial Real Estate Project
Nowhere in the law is this phrase more liable than in the construction industry. Just as the contractor or design professional engages in significant planning before commencing the work, the same care and planning are necessary to build the foundation for the company and its contracts.
An
experienced construction lawyer can set the foundation on which the
construction company will stand.
Hire a
Business Attorney Before You Need One
When
starting a construction company, the contractor or design professional needs a
lawyer skilled in entity formation, licensing, and insurance law. As a result,
the company and individuals have the necessary authority and protection to open
a shop. In addition, leasing or buying property from which to conduct business
requires an attorney to close the deal on commercially reasonable terms on
time.
When
commencing a project, a lawyer with well-honed drafting skills is required to
clearly define the scope of each party's responsibilities and anticipate where
the client will need protection. Rarely can a contract be changed after the
project starts, so drafting the agreement by an experienced construction lawyer
is vital? At times, contract templates can be prepared to ensure
consistency in expectations and keep expenses in check.
But even
the best-drawn plans may go wrong. When that happens, the contractor or design
professional needs an experienced team of lawyers to design and complete a
strategy to protect best and pursue the available rights and remedies.

Construction
Attorneys Help to Solve Business Disputes
During the
project, disputes often arise over overcharge or performance. Large
construction projects will involve many subcontractors, and the further one is
from the top, the more risk there is of non-payment. A knowledgeable
construction lawyer can prepare the notices and claims required to offer
protections from non-payment and take actions designed to enforce the terms of
the contract to recover the compensation due to work performed. Sometimes
payment disputes end in bankruptcy court with multiple claimants seeking their
proportionate share of available funds, requiring an attorney experienced in
operating through the complex bankruptcy system.
Claims for
the defective design, planning, supervision, or construction may bring the
project close. Therefore, an attorney who will actively defend the contractor
and who can identify opportunities for alternative dispute resolution, such as
mediation or negotiation, is invaluable to keeping the business on solid
foundations.
Other
legal matters may arise during a construction project, such as personal injury
and worker compensation claims. In addition, disputes with employees over
working conditions, benefits, compensation, and non-compete agreements also
occur in the construction industry. Such legal needs require competent counsel to
protect the contractor and business.
And
overarching, it is necessary to engage an attorney who possesses the knowledge,
skill, and experience to evaluate the matter objectively, clearly communicate
the available options or courses of action, act diligently on the agreed-upon
strategy, and keep the client informed throughout the process.
When
starting a construction company, the contractor or design professional needs a
