Representation for Development Projects and Construction Disputes
The management of large construction and development projects requires coordinating the work of multiple parties and addressing scores of issues and potential complications each day. When disputes arise or delays put a project at risk, ensuing litigation can derail a once-promising project.
At McAllister, DeTar, Showalter & Walker (MDSW), we work with owners, general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and design professionals on all aspects of private and public development projects. Years of handling contract negotiation, project management, lien resolution, and insurance and surety matters, along with our extensive litigation experience, allow us to provide comprehensive services for clients in the construction industry.
Moving Projects Forward While Protecting Clients from Risk
We know that risk is inherent in any large development project. But we focus on minimizing that risk and insulating our clients from exposure during pre-construction transactional representation. If disputes do arise, our combination of litigation acumen and construction industry experience provides our clients with a distinct advantage.
We are prepared to vigorously advocate for our clients’ interests while simultaneously looking for creative ways to resolve disputes fairly and efficiently. Everyone wants to get paid and everyone wants a project to move forward towards completion; the goal is to stand firm while also finding common ground that can bring matters to an amicable resolution.
