It is less expensive to keep you out of trouble than to get you out of trouble. Before signing any construction contract, it is important to get the opinion of an objective lawyer who has the legal experience to ensure that you are getting what you expect and that you will not have to deal with stressful issues of litigation. By planning up front, you can save the time, money and stress of legal disputes at the end. The Law Offices of Mark A. Brifman will work hard for your success.
Contract Formation and Litigation in Construction Law
At our firm, we represent clients in the following areas of construction law:
- Drafting construction contracts that comply with state and federal laws
- Reviewing contracts to ensure that they comply with state and federal laws, and rewriting those contracts when they do not comply
- Reviewing construction work plans and contract contingency plans
- Assessing payment arrangements, sureties and bonds
- Resolving construction disputes, including defect claims and breaches of contract
- Obtaining payment for clients, including contractors and sub-contractors
- Litigating disputes, including collection and lien litigation, construction defects and contract litigation
The most common contract dispute that we deal with in construction law is over the payment of contractors. In California, the contracting profession is one of the highest regulated industries. If the construction contract is not precisely drafted and performed by the contractor, they will typically have to refund the entire amount paid to them for their work. Because of this, it is crucial to have a contract that protects your rights as a contractor and ensures that you will get paid timely and in-full.
