What Is Construction Law?

Dispute resolution
If you are embroiled in a dispute with your contractor, or you are a contractor who is having disputes with a client, you may need to seek dispute resolution services in order to straighten things out. There are a variety of ways to resolve construction disputes, and the best way to find a resolution will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of your case. Some common methods of dispute resolution include:
- Arbitration: In arbitration, a neutral third party hears both sides of the dispute and makes a decision that is binding on both parties.
- Mediation: In mediation, a mediator helps the parties negotiate a resolution to their dispute. The mediator does not make a decision but instead helps the parties come to an agreement themselves.
- Litigation: If the parties cannot come to an agreement through other means, they may have to go to court in order to get a decision from a judge or jury.
Construction defect litigation
If you are facing a construction defect lawsuit, it is important to have an experienced construction law attorney on your side. Construction defect litigation can be complex and expensive, and having someone who understands the ins and outs of the legal process fighting for your best interests is important.
An experienced construction law attorney can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights. They will be able to advise you on whether or not you should settle the case or take it to trial, and they will fight for a fair settlement if that is what you decide is best for you.
