We don’t just understand architecture—we speak your language, anticipate risks, and protect your business at every stage of the project lifecycle.
Our construction law team advises architects with deep industry insight and unmatched technical fluency. Several of our lawyers have backgrounds in engineering, contracting, and design. We support you from project financing and contract negotiation to dispute resolution and professional licensing defense. Whether you’re designing hospitals, transit hubs, or clean tech labs, we’ve seen—and solved—the legal challenges involved.
We counsel top design firms and EPCs across delivery methods like design-bid-build, design-build, and IPD. Our litigation and risk management strategies are informed by practical tools like BIM, CPM scheduling, and advanced diagnostics. We’re trusted panel counsel for major professional liability insurers and shape the legal landscape through legislative advocacy and amicus work on key issues such as standard of care and the economic loss doctrine.
Our involvement with the AIA reflects our commitment to the design community. You don’t just need a lawyer—you need a legal partner who understands what it means to build.
