Government-funded construction projects present a variety of unique legal issues for construction contractors and subcontractors. Our attorneys have the experience to effectively represent clients in all phases of construction management under federal, state and local government contracts, from analyzing solicitation requirements and preparing bids and proposals, to drafting and negotiating contracts and subcontracts, to resolving project management, regulatory compliance issues and performance disputes with the government customer.
We work with construction clients to prepare and negotiate change orders, cost proposals and requests for equitable adjustment, with an eye towards minimizing or preventing unnecessary disputes from arising. Our attorneys are experienced in preparing and negotiating contract claims, including the pursuit and defense of claims for actual or constructive changes, defective work, non-cooperation and interference, defective specifications, delay (Eichleay claims and direct cost claims), labor productivity impacts, acceleration, suspension, superior knowledge, impracticability, and related cost, pricing and time issues. We regularly represent construction clients intermination proceedings and settlements, actions on Miller Act bonds, and in prime-subcontractor contract disputes. Although we endeavor to negotiate a resolution to government contract disputes prior to litigation, many of our attorneys are highly experienced litigators who have successfully represented construction clients through alternate dispute resolution and litigation in a wide range of judicial and administrative forums, from state and federal boards of contract appeals and agency tribunals to state and federal courts.
