We also have experience addressing differing site conditions, rejection of non-conforming work, suspensions, terminations, mechanics’ liens, payment and performance bonds, insurance, liquidated damages and warranties. Our attorneys are also experienced in construction arbitration matters, and are often called upon by other law firms to serve as mediators and arbitrators.
