Longman & Van Grack's attorneys regularly handle disputes
related to both commercial and residential building and construction throughout Maryland & Washington DC
Commercial and residential building and construction can often result in legal disputes throughout Maryland and Washington DC. The commercial litigation attorneys at Longman & Van Grack regularly handle disputes related to both commercial and residential building and construction. Much like implementing the complex specifications of a blueprint, all of the firm’s building and construction litigation attorneys work with each construction client to avoid litigation — such as preventing unforeseen disagreements, resolving disputes, and managing mutually-beneficial settlements to prevent future conflict with various business partners, companies, and individuals. With the number of sub-contractors, vendors, and service providers involved in residential or commercial construction projects, the likelihood of litigation increases and consultation with a DC or Maryland construction attorney becomes beneficial.
Having a knowledgeable and competent construction lawyer on your side can be an invaluable tool in protecting your construction company from unnecessary exposure to litigation (and also success in construction civil lawsuits if one arises). Further, in some cases, contractors or subcontractors can cause unforeseen damages, fail to complete construction, or even file for bankruptcy in the midst of a project. Often construction matters involve contract disputes. Our construction attorneys have experience specifically addressing legal issues regarding new construction, old construction, bankruptcy matters, fraud, and insurance problems throughout Maryland and Washington DC. Additionally, our construction attorneys have represented both companies and individual related to construction lawsuits on both the plaintiff and defendant side. Specifically, our construction lawyers meet with clients in our offices in Maryland (Rockville and Bethesda) and Washington DC.
When searching for a construction attorney to help guide your construction firm through the dispute avoidance and resolution process and through a construction of building lawsuit, keep in mind that construction law is a niche area that requires experience and superior knowledge of the complexities of the bidding and contracting process. Longman & Van Grack’s construction attorneys are experienced in this industry and are well-equipped to handle issues arising in any of the following areas, including:
In addition to the above construction and payment-based actions, Longman & Van Grack’s DC Maryland construction lawyers also work to preserve the intangible assets for which you have worked diligently to protect, including your company’s reputation, integrity, and good name. In the event a dispute arises between your construction or building company and another entity, our construction litigation attorneys can handle the matter with as little publicity as possible, thereby allowing your construction or building company to continue with your daily business and avoid harmful strikes against your reputation. As any entrepreneur is aware, a certain level of inherent risk exists when managing a construction and building business. The Maryland and DC construction industry often sees disputes due to the number of players involved in real estate development and construction.
Longman & Van Grack knowledgeable construction attorneys can carry you and your company through a construction or builders dispute from the initial negotiation and all the way to a settlement or trial, and our construction litigation attorneys will keep a sharp eye on ways to minimize liability in the process.
Our construction attorneys are well versed in construction law. In Maryland, our construction litigation attorneys regularly try cases in Maryland District Court and Maryland Circuit Court. Our Maryland construction attorneys also have experience addressing Maryland construction disputes before the Maryland Home Improvement Commission Guarantee Fund Claims. In Washington DC, our construction litigation attorneys generally try constriction cases in DC Superior Court. Our DC and Maryland construction attorneys will also review existing documents and procedures utilized by the company to help determine if you are fully protected from potential claims or unenforceable payment or construction contract language.
With the strict, often unwavering, deadlines imposed by investors and buyers, your construction company simply cannot itself deal with all of the contract disputes and conflict that residential and commercial construction companies must address. Working with Longman & Van Grack’s aggressive and knowledgeable construction litigation attorneys, you can overcome the collateral damage often accompanying construction and builders litigation. The construction dispute lawyers at Longman & Van Grack skillfully practice in all areas of builders and construction litigation.
