The construction industry is more than bricks and mortar: it is a highly innovative, fiercely competitive business--both heavily regulated and prone to disputes. Success in this challenging environment requires an experienced and creative legal partner. RJO is that partner.
RJO has over 35 years’ experience representing contractors, A&E firms, owners and major suppliers in disputes involving construction projects of every variety. RJO provides the responsiveness and dedication of an elite boutique litigation firm to complex, high-value disputes involving the largest U.S. and international companies.
We take pride in handling complex controversies in a skillful and effective manner. Some clients retain our firm at the litigation stage.

Our goal is to avoid formulaic responses, and to dedicate the right resources to each matter. RJO attorneys seek to build long-term client relationships based on honesty, loyalty and competency.
From bidding disputes to major performance claims, we have been there before, and will guide you to success.
