Construction
For players in the construction industry, lost time is lost opportunity. Construction clients do not have the luxury of setting aside their other priorities to educate lawyers concerning the intricacies of how jobs are built. They need advice and insight from someone who can get their hands around a problem quickly and apply relevant experience to achieve practical, cost-effective solutions.
We recognize your need for timely and trusted counsel, so we make it our business to know the construction world from every angle. SFM actively assists contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, developers, sureties, insurers and design professionals in all aspects of construction and government contracting. Our extensive experience allows us to understand and effectively address project problems at the jobsite, in the boardroom, and in the courtroom. As a result, our clients view us not only as skilled advocates, but also as reliable business advisors. Firm members routinely work with our clients on a wide variety of construction issues including:
- schedule and time impact analysis
- plan and specification review
- bid responsiveness
- change order and claim development
- cost analysis
- indemnity claims
- contract drafting and negotiation
- scope analysis
- project management support
- claim analysis and prosecution
- construction defects
- insurance matters
- labor problems
- productivity analysis
When we cannot help to avoid or resolve jobsite problems through strategic counseling, we employ our skills to protect our clients in all phases of dispute resolution. Whether the dispute calls for mediation, arbitration, or trial, SFM advocates successfully on behalf of our clients throughout the country, using our knowledge and expertise to illustrate the unique realities of the construction world.
