Construction
 
The Firm has developed a national reputation in construction law and litigation. The heart of this part of our practice remains the resolution of construction claims, but also involves a wide array of related issues such as bidding disputes, arbitrations, mediations, regulatory matters, contract negotiation and formulation, liens, environmental problems, construction defect and accident litigation, as well as surety bonding questions in both the public and private sectors.

The Firm's lawyers have broad experience in all phases of construction law representing developers, contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, sureties, insurers and all others involved in the construction process. Attorneys experienced in the construction process offer an invaluable perspective in providing practical "hands-on" legal counsel.

The Firm has extensive experience successfully prosecuting claims on behalf of sureties and contractors against the City of New York, DASNY and other public authorities in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and across the Country.

The Firm has been successful at achieving fair and appropriate resolution of client’s problems and disputes often without resort to litigation and its inherent expense and delay. We have expertise in all forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution such as Dispute Review Boards, mini-trials, mediation and arbitration. If resort to these procedures does not resolve a client’s dispute, the Firm has an enviable track record in successfully prosecuting and defending claims in the federal and state courts at the trial and appellate levels.

The Firm has assisted clients in resolving disputes arising out of many of the largest construction projects in this area, including numerous commercial developments, office buildings, manufacturing facilities and public works projects such as military bases, waste treatment plants, railroad terminals, road projects, schools and hospitals.

In addition to representing elite heavy construction contractors, the Firm enjoys similar recognition and is equally experienced in the field of surety bond claims and litigation. As counsel for many of the major surety underwriters, the Firm has managed the completion of numerous complex construction projects following defaults on bonded contracts, and prosecuted and resolved resulting claims. Construction disputes and litigation require adept legal counsel with special skills and in-depth experience – all are available at MDM&C.
