In business dealings, many lawsuits arise out of breach of contract disputes and our practice is well-prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf or to defend you if you are sued unfairly. Breach of contract basically means that one party has not completed a job or completed it poorly, has failed to deliver an entire order of goods, has substituted inferior products, missed a deadline with no reasonable excuse, not paid for work done, paid a lesser amount than the one agreed upon, or in some other way has not lived up to his or her commitment. In some cases, breach of contract may cross the line, becoming fraud, particularly if malicious intent can be proven.
Construction involving residential and commercial property is complicated because these projects typically involve multiple parties, such as property owners, construction companies, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and service providers. When disputes arise, having an experienced construction litigation attorney is essential. Construction disputes can arise from the quality of construction, materials used, timelines and delays in construction, abandonment of a construction project, or nonpayment. At M&A Law, we work to reach negotiated settlements to construction disputes, but we are always prepared for trial, if necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
Construction litigation typically involves the following areas of conflict: breach of conflict, negligence, breach of warranty, strict liability, and mechanic’s liens. At M&A Law, we have the skills and resources to represent real estate developers, owners, residents, and other parties in claims related to substandard construction or other breaches involving new construction, renovations, and repairs by architects, contractors, subcontractors, engineers, and insurers. At the same time, we represent architects, contractors, subcontractors, engineers, and other parties in claims arising from breaches of construction agreements. Above all, we work to protect each client’s interests and investments.
