About
Provided by Seyfarth Shaw LLP
With one of the largest and most experienced construction law practices in the United States, Seyfarth Shaw provides clients the benefits of a classic construction boutique supported by the resources of a large full-service firm. We represent clients—developers, contractors, owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors and lenders—in all phases of construction projects, from inception to completion, domestically and abroad.
Although we have traditionally maintained a strong litigation dimension to the practice, our expertise extends to all non-contentious aspects of construction project development and government contracts work. Our client roster features a large number of contractors and engineers. We have extensive government contracts expertise representing both private parties contracting with the government and government entities. Significant expertise includes, handling protests, claims, and litigation. International work is a growing feature of the practice, and we continue to successfully expand our relationships with foreign construction companies and project owners operating overseas working on some of the largest international projects.
We are particularly strong in handling large, complex project disputes such as those involving stadiums, infrastructure developments, power plants and wastewater treatment centers. To learn more about our national litigation and counseling capabilities, visit www.seyfarth.com/Construction.
