Areas of Practice
CONSTRUCTION LAW
From contract negotiation to dispute resolution, our office has the ability to represent the interests of those involved in the design and construction process. We have experience representing owners, contractors, professional designers and suppliers. We can mitigate risk at the front end through project delivery selection and contract negotiations, protect your interests during the design and construction process as project adviser and counsel, and vigorously defend you during the dispute resolution process.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
Navigating the complex laws and regulations that govern public contracts can be daunting, but opportunities abound in the public sphere for those in the construction industry. With experience dealing with all levels of government and their different agencies, our office can assist clients in maximizing opportunities, minimizing risk, and keeping up to date on the latest developments in this ever-changing area of the industry.
REAL ESTATE LAW
Our office can assist in providing the innovative and targeted solutions to the complex issues that arise in developing and managing real estate projects. From identifying risk during the due diligence phase and navigating the complex administrative and governmental permitting processes to negotiating leases and resolving disputes, we provide tailored counsel to assist our real estate clients and maximize the value of their projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
Modification of the built environment inherently requires impact to the natural environment. We can provide counsel with respect to regulatory compliance and permitting, remediation issues and risk management with respect to land use and environmental issues.
CORPORATE AND BUSINESS LAW
No matter the industry, all companies must navigate the legal and regulatory framework that governs their operations. We can assist with these efforts, from navigating the issues involved with business formation and entity selection to contract negotiations, licensing rules and regulations, and general business litigation.
GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING LAW
Maximizing efficiency, constructing high performing buildings, and reducing impact on the environment are both lofty and profitable goals for any development project. However, efforts to achieve such goals come with an array of implementation and compliance issues. Our office can assist with such issues, including interpretation of sustainable performance standards, navigation of certification processes, compliance with green building codes and negotiation of “green lease” provisions between landlords and tenants.
