SmithAmundsen’s Construction Practice Group understands that our clients often encounter complex issues in this ever-changing industry. By recognizing strategic relationships necessary to successfully complete a project, our attorneys structure agreements that fairly allocate responsibilities and avoid unnecessary risks to our clients under various project delivery systems. We share the goal of making your project a success.
Nevertheless, as a premier litigation firm, we realize that tough issues, such as OSHA compliance, failure to perform, construction defects, insurance requirements, and catastrophic injury claims are a part of today’s construction industry. By challenging ourselves to stay abreast of and, where possible, ahead of industry and legal trends, we are able to counsel our clients on the most effective approaches to risk management, dispute resolution, and litigation.
We focus our primary efforts on advising clients as to the means to avoiding claims, finding cost-effective business solutions to impasses during the course of a project, and using alternative methods of dispute resolution prior to costly and protracted litigation. However, when adversarial proceedings cannot be avoided, we combine our intimate knowledge of the construction industry, extensive trial experience and proven track record of successful courtroom decisions for local and national clients, to produce outstanding yet efficient results for our clients.
