Valuable counsel for your litigation and transactional needs
C&A’s team has the experience to handle all the various situations that arise at the outset, during, and after construction projects. This includes drafting contracts, providing legal support, advising on risk management, and navigating lien and bond issues.
Construction Defect
Our construction defect practice represents owners, municipalities, developers, contractors, subcontractors, and property owners associations in matters involving water infiltration, structural failures, and other construction-related defects. We provide strategic counsel and dispute resolution support across multifamily, industrial, high-rise, infrastructure, and utility projects, from early investigation through resolution.
Claims
If you're going through arbitration, litigation, or another alternative dispute resolution procedure, the attorneys at C&A can successfully navigate you through the process to end with a good outcome. From breach of contract and defect claims to delays, liens, bonds, and bid protests, we tailor our approach to the amount in controversy — pursuing cost-effective resolution where possible and trying the case where necessary.
Contract Negotiations
Drafting and negotiating development, design, and construction contracts and subcontracts, and purchase orders. From manuscripted agreements to standard AIA, EJCDC, ConsensusDocs, and DBIA forms, we address your risk at the outset so projects move forward without disruption or delay.
Risk Management
Developing risk management policies based on an integrated program of issue spotting, collaborative risk analysis, and early claim avoidance. From delays and liquidated damages to wrap policies, jobsite injuries, price escalation, and drone use, we help you address exposure before it becomes a claim.
