Yes, we serve clients involved in large commercial and industrial projects, like high-rise buildings, wastewater treatment facilities, transportation centers and power plants.  Yet we also serve the legal needs of school districts, homeowners associations and individuals.  Our clients have been involved in civil projects as well, including public arenas and highway construction. 

We believe that part of the value we bring to our clients is an extensive knowledge of insurance. Our successful resolution of construction litigation often involves unraveling complex issues related to liability and other aspects of insurance coverage.

Wilson Elser is experienced in providing counsel and advice and defending the kinds of claims that inevitably arise in the construction industry.  Matters that we have litigated involve everything from subsidence to structural defects, personal injury to property damage, and mechanic's liens to economic loss caused by delays.  We represent those directly involved in disputes, as well as their insurers.

The firm brings an interdisciplinary team to complicated legal matters.  Nationwide, we have attorneys experienced in all aspects of construction litigation and practice, including several with professional architectural and engineering backgrounds.  We also draw on a national network of forensic consultants and construction experts in areas like design, scheduling and finance.  In some cases, we utilize experienced mediators who focus on construction litigation.  This usually avoids the high cost of extensive discovery and trial.  However, construction matters occasionally do go to trial, and we have successfully defended such cases both in state and federal courts.

Wilson Elser offers construction clients a firm footing in resolving complex legal matters.  From start to finish, we exceed expectations.
