Our construction team understands the ever-changing nature of the construction industry.  The current trends of general contractors passing on risk to lower tiered subcontractors and material suppliers, increased use of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, and the growing volume of sales by material suppliers direct to owners, present material suppliers and subcontractors with new risks and potential opportunities. Our team of experienced lawyers has prepared, reviewed and negotiated thousands of contracts on behalf of our clients.
