Real Estate Litigation

Construction projects involve owners, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, providers of construction materials, insurers and lenders. Disputes frequently arise about whether work was properly performed or whether payment is owed. Those disputes can usually be resolved without a construction litigation lawsuit being filed. In order to do so, it is best to consult a construction litigation attorney immediately in order to ensure that your legal interest is properly protected.

Complex Construction Projects

The involvement of several independent parties in construction projects necessarily involves oral or written agreements among and between the various parties. Disputes about the payment or performance under one or more of those agreements may result in a commercial litigation lawsuit. When a contractor fails to perform under the construction contract, enforcement of the performance bond may be a legal option. Our construction litigation attorneys can advise and assist property owners and general contractors in the enforcement of performance bonds.

Construction Liens

Nonpayment under a construction contract may result in the filing of a lien against the property by a contractor or materialman. The filing and perfection of liens is governed by statute. A lien that is not perfected is not enforceable. Attempts to enforce an unperfected lien may result in liability of the lien holder. The construction litigation attorneys at Taylor Dunham have successfully enforced and defended numerous construction liens on residential and commercial properties.
