Construction
Law
In
addition to our firm’s other practice areas, since 1978, founding
shareholders Richard Ditlevson and G. Saxon Rodgers have represented
contractors, developers, subcontractors, suppliers, architects,
engineers as well as owners, with the goal of providing practical,
economical legal services. While our firm is proud of its litigation
expertise and record, we also know full well that litigation is
only a part of quality legal representation and counsel. We have
found that our construction industry clients in particular are often
better served by our focusing on preventative maintenance, which
is accomplished principally through intelligent contract preparation
and administration.
Our
practical experience with construction practices and business operations
gives us critical insight and allows us to offer a proactive approach
to our clients’ legal needs. For example, as a master carpenter,
cabinetmaker, and former construction foreman, associate attorney
Steven M. Sayre’s knowledge of the procedures, relationships
and creative processes at work in the building industry tends to
minimize the dollars our clients spend “educating” us
about their needs and problems. In this way, our firm is often able
to function like in-house counsel.
Our
understanding of the building industry frequently enables us to
foresee legal and practical difficulties that our clients might
face in their business. By working with them on a regular basis,
we are able in many cases to efficiently and inexpensively prevent
or minimize the effects of such circumstances.
Representation
of construction industry and real property development and investment
clients constitutes a substantial portion of our practice. We are
proud of that fact and proud of the client relationships we have
developed in this area and the successes and accomplishments of
our clients.
