For owners and developers, disputes often are part of the construction process. There may be disagreements about the scope, timing or cost of work, allocations of responsibility and the meaning of even the most carefully drafted contract provision.

GTHW includes lawyers are experienced litigators and advocates for clients involved in all types of construction litigation. Our goal always is to resolve the problem in a client-favorable manner that is efficient, timely and cost-effective.

Our lawyers help clients resolve disputes involving:

We represent owners and developers in construction litigation. Our construction litigation attorneys are sensitive to the costs of litigation. One way we work to minimize expense is to staff litigation as cost-effectively as possible; being flexible in how we assign paralegals and attorneys. Another way we keep control of costs is by trying to prevent litigation altogether, drafting contracts with an eye to areas of potential litigation and working to eliminate ambiguities.

We try to resolve construction disputes at the earliest stage possible in a manner that is both practical and cost-effective. That may involve mediation, arbitration or other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Resolving disputes might require only a letter informing the other side of what the contract provides, what is at issue and how it can be resolved, or whether it might require a trial and/or appeal. Our attorneys have been litigating construction disputes for many years and we are equally adept in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. We work with consultants whenever necessary to help our clients prevail.
