Strategic counsel with extensive experience and the resources needed to handle complex construction disputes.
The timely resolution of a legal dispute can determine the success or failure of any construction project. Challenges can arise at any stage of the construction process and litigation is often a high risk with large damage awards and professional reputations on the line. The Mitchell Williams construction litigation attorneys are confident and experienced in the courtroom, but our goal is always to provide the most efficient and cost-effective resolution for our clients, whether through trial, arbitration, mediation, administrative proceedings or any of the numerous alternatives for dispute resolution.
We draw on our team’s litigation experience, insight into state and local government regulations, technical abilities and resources across the firm to effectively handle the complex legal challenges of all types and sizes of building projects. We counsel owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, architects and engineers to provide representation in federal and state courts and before arbitrators and mediators.
