Experienced in generating contract language intended to avoid conflict, the attorneys in this practice area draft and negotiate construction contracts for public and private projects. They believe the most effective means of risk management is an effective contract and therefore have negotiated numerous design and construction agreements based on standards set by leading organizations in architecture, engineering and construction. Developing, drafting and reviewing contracts, tedious but necessary duties, are no guarantee against future strife. When done conscientiously, however, using the most current industry guidelines, these tasks become the most reliable means of self-insurance.
