Twomey Latham’s full-service Construction Law Group handles a wide range of matters involving the construction industry. The specialized training, experience, and education of our attorneys make our firm particularly effective in advising and counseling our clients in this highly specialized and technical area of the law.
Through every phase of the contract process, from pre-construction through to the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy, the firm represents developers, property owners, builders, commercial and residential contractors, subcontractors, architects, and engineers with respect to commercial and residential projects, new construction, and renovations.
The construction contract forms the foundation for the entire project and our construction law attorneys possess the experience necessary to draft and negotiate the most effective construction contracts that balance the rights of the parties while furthering the interests of the firm’s clients to best accomplish their contractual objectives. With a strong understanding of the most commonly used terms, we leave no stone unturned, maximizing our clients’ contractual rights by including comprehensive risk allocation provisions, such as those that pertain to indemnity, insurance and warranty issues. The insight of our attorneys affords us the opportunity to provide the firm’s clients with invaluable advice that buys much more than just peace of mind.
In addition to transactional matters, Twomey Latham frequently litigates complex construction disputes involving defective construction claims, delays, scope of work disputes, mechanic’s lien foreclosure and defense, OSHA violations, ECB violations, and labor law claims.
Whether in mediation, in arbitration, or at trial, our Long Island construction law attorneys are devoted to helping our clients achieve their business objectives while always seeking to minimize risk, exposure, and expense.
