Even after delivery, we continue to assist clients – such as owners, construction managers, trade contractors, suppliers, sureties, architects, or engineers – regarding the issues and claims that may arise with respect to project completion.
On public projects, we assist contractors with the enforcement of Miller Act and Little Miller Act disputes, assertion of payment bond claims, making demands for direct payment, and other regulatory processes available.
With respect to private works projects, our attorneys advise clients regarding the mechanic’s lien, prompt payment, anti-indemnity, retainage limitation, licensing, and other statutes and regulations unique to the construction industry. We guide our clients through the project close-out phase on issues such as auditing rights and final accounting process for guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contracts, warranty claims, defective work, mechanic’s lien waivers, and release of retainage.
