Development and construction of real estate improvements is a vital area of economic activity, and the ability to effectively deal with the myriad legal issues involved in every public and private construction project can spell the difference between success and failure. Lowenstein Sandler’s Construction Law & Litigation practice helps public and private owners, contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, and others navigate each phase of real estate development and construction. We have “made law” on important construction legal issues and established a high level of credibility with public agencies, construction officials, judges, and adversaries.
Our Construction Law & Litigation practice brings impeccable legal credentials and extensive industry experience to the construction process. Our attorneys include a member who has served for over 20 years as Legal Counsel to the Utility and Transportation Contractors Association of New Jersey (UTCA), the state’s preeminent construction trade association. One practice group member served as a deputy attorney general who counseled the New Jersey Department of Transportation on a wide range of construction matters. A number of practice group members are graduate engineers who understand the technical aspects of the construction process, as well as its legal nuances.
We offer insight about every aspect of a construction project, from property acquisition, land use regulation, financing, and permitting to procurement/project delivery issues, contract negotiation, job documentation and administration, payment disputes, liability/risk management problems, project close-out, and construction claims. Throughout the development and construction process, we address contractual and regulatory issues, including environmental concerns. While the practice group’s goal is to help clients achieve successful projects by resolving issues when they arise rather than through costly and time-consuming legal proceedings, our attorneys also have the experience and the expertise to successfully litigate or arbitrate even the most complex construction matters in New Jersey and other jurisdictions. Lowenstein Sandler’s substantial firmwide resources amply support the Construction Law & Litigation practice, uniquely positioning us to provide the full range of services demanded by businesses and individuals involved with construction.
