McLane Middleton’s Construction Litigation team represents architects, engineers, construction managers, owners, lenders, general contractors and subcontractors in litigation in various courts and arbitration proceedings in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine.
Our construction litigation attorneys frequently assist commercial and residential owners in pursuing claims for defective construction and design. We also represent contractors and subcontractors in a variety of contexts, including delay claims, payment disputes, securing of mechanic’s liens, and insurance coverage disputes.
Our team works closely with our real estate, environmental, employment, tax, and corporate attorneys, drawing on collective experience to provide comprehensive assistance to our clients when litigation needs arise. When obstacles arise – such as OSHA issues, permitting challenges, delay claims, or payment disputes – our attorneys guide clients to the most practical and efficient resolution.
