Leaders in Construction Law Since 1919
Greenberg, Trager, Herbst & Wagowski, LLP, is a nationally recognized New York City-located construction law firm founded in 1919. Because of our history and our exclusive concentration in this area of legal practice, we provide our clients with insightful, high-quality legal representation and advocacy. In addition to our focus on construction law, we also offer legal representation in complementary areas such as bonding and insurance.
Our Core Areas of Practice
At Greenberg, Trager, Herbst & Wagowski, LLP, our lawyers concentrate almost exclusively on construction law and related areas of practice. Because our firm has been a leader in the field for nearly a century, we have acquired vast experience and the ability to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions for clients in the construction and real estate industry. We particularly cater to the needs of owner-developers in the construction trade.
Advocates for Owner-Developers
We primarily represent owner-developers. Our varied clientele, from bluechip national and publicly traded companies to local family-owned businesses, share a need for legal thinking that is innovative, responsive and practical.
Our attorneys stand ready to assist clients with all legal matters related to development and construction, from project planning to risk analysis, to compliance with department of buildings regulations to surety bonds and construction insurance, and to drafting and litigating design and construction contracts. We also work closely with our clients to resolve disputes using negotiation, litigation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Strategic Legal Guidance
At GTHW, our primary focus on construction law allows us to influence and stay abreast of changes in the field. We have both knowledge and a practical understanding of the business and legal issues a developer owner faces during the lifecycle of a construction project. Our understanding of the construction industry often allows us to prevent issues from arising but when they do, we are experts in developing innovative solutions to practical problems businesses face in preventing obstacles to project completion.
Our New York City-based construction law attorneys work with our clients to understand specific project goals. We use our knowledge of the real-world cost and schedule issues that arise in construction. In all matters, we undertake to provide legal counsel with the business interests of our clients and the practical realities of construction in an often fluid environment in mind. Our unique perspective and knowledge come from our many years of handling legal matters related to large-scale projects nationally, including residential, commercial, hotel, and data center developments.
