Our attorneys stand ready to assist clients with all legal matters related to development and construction, from project planning to risk analysis to compliance with department of buildings regulations to construction insurance, to drafting and litigating contracts. We also work with our clients to resolve disputes using negotiation, litigation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

At Lawyers’ Marks, our primary focus on construction law allows us to influence and stay abreast of changes in the field. We have knowledge of the business and legal issues a business faces during the lifecycle of a construction project. Our understanding of the construction industry allows us to prevent issues from arising, but when they do, we are experts in developing innovative solutions to practical problems businesses face on course to project completion.

Our law attorneys work with our clients to understand specific project goals. We use our knowledge of the real-world cost and schedule issues that arise in construction. In all matters, we undertake to provide legal counsel with the business interests of our clients in mind. Our unique perspective and knowledge come from our many years of handling legal matters related to projects ranging from family owned businesses to corporates.
