Construction Agreements: Investing in Protection
Contracts do not necessarily have to be long or filled with legalese.
Contracts need to reflect the real world of construction and law. Construction contracts should focus on key areas; be concise; be clear; suitable to the task at hand and understandable to everyone. Ultimately, contracts are put in place to protect the parties involved—whether they are developers, owners, prime contractors, sub-contractors, architects, engineers, or suppliers.
We can help you strike the right balance that works for your company and your industry.

Avoiding Construction Disputes
The unfortunate truth is that most construction disputes and contract litigation are avoidable. Almost all such conflicts can be traced to a mistake at an earlier stage, such as under-bidding; failing to properly screen a contracting party; entering into an onerous or ill-conceived contract; failing to pro-actively address issues as they arise; and so forth.
We can help you identify these issues and avoid them.
Expert Handling of Contract Claim Litigation and Arbitration
Despite best efforts, sometimes construction disputes and litigation are unavoidable. At these times you do not want to bring a knife to gun fight.
While we specialize in construction law, our background is litigation. We have successfully litigated numerous matters up to, and including trial, appeal and even at the Supreme Court of Canada (leave application).
If litigation is unavoidable, or if you need to leverage a better negotiating position, we can help you.
