Disputes among owners and contractors, sureties and claimants, and between the trades themselves, are a near-consistent fact of life on both simple and complex construction projects. As every commercial transaction involves some degree of risk that a dispute may develop, business clients will inevitably find themselves in need of competent and proficient legal counsel to access the merits of its position and to develop the strategies best calculated to reach successful results.
