What is construction litigation?
Construction litigation covers disputes that arise out of building projects. A construction site brings together owners, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and designers, and any of those relationships can lead to a claim.
Alex represents parties up and down the chain when a project goes sideways.
Common construction disputes
Most construction cases fall into a handful of categories:
- Payment and lien claims
- Project delays and acceleration
- Construction defects and workmanship
- Breach of contract and change-order fights
- Scope and specification disputes
- Design and engineering issues
Why these cases get complicated
Construction disputes often involve many parties and technical facts, which is why hands-on knowledge matters. Alex has actual experience in construction and has litigated cases ranging from IT to complex engineering projects, so he can hold his own with the technical detail rather than learning it on your dime.
Stopping disputes at the contract stage
The strongest protection on a project is a well-drafted contract. Clear scope, payment terms, change-order procedures, and risk allocation prevent many of the disputes Alex later sees in court. Having an agreement reviewed before the project starts is far cheaper than litigating it after.
Who this is for
Owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who are facing a construction claim, or who want to reduce the risk of one, can reach Alex for a first call at no cost.
Common questions
Who can be held liable in a construction dispute?
Depending on the facts, owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and design professionals can all bear responsibility. The right defendants depend on the contracts and the work.
Do you handle payment and lien disputes?
Yes. Payment and lien claims are among the most common construction matters Alex handles for both those owed money and those defending a claim.
