Helping construction clients build their future

The primary goal of Hodgson Russ’s Construction Law Practice Group is to help our clients understand, minimize, and balance risks to meet their unique project goals. Through our attorneys’ broad experience and specialized knowledge, Hodgson Russ provides sound, practical, cost-effective, and creative solutions for our construction clients.

Our construction law attorneys have extensive experience with construction industry contracts, industry practices, and compliance issues. They understand the importance of protecting clients’ interests at each stage of a project, from bidding and contracting to dispute resolution. That is why we are frequently involved in a project from its inception, assisting in planning, obtaining environmental and other required approvals, and drafting project agreements.

Through preparation, counseling, and planning, we help our construction clients avoid, whenever possible, the costs and disruptions that legal disputes can bring. When litigation is necessary, our attorneys represent clients aggressively in court, arbitration, or administrative proceedings. We are also experienced in mediation and in other dispute resolution techniques. Most important, we have a proven track record of success.

Hodgson Russ’s skills and experience have led to enduring relationships throughout the construction industry. Located across the United States and Canada, our clients include owners, contractors, architects, engineers, design professionals, builders, subcontractors, suppliers, sureties, insurers, and lenders.
