Construction Litigation

Mattlin & Wyman’s attorneys have extensive experience in arbitrating and litigating complex construction disputes.  Our attorneys have vast experience in the prosecution and defense of all types of construction disputes brought by or against developers, owners, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, suppliers, design professionals, builders risk insurers, and sureties.  We have extensive experience in the litigation of complex construction claims, contract performance and termination issues.  In addition, we handle cases based on allegations of project delay, defective and negligent design and defective products supplied to construction projects.

Mattlin & Wyman has represented clients in substantial construction arbitrations as well as in lawsuits in both State and Federal courts.  When arbitration or litigation cannot be avoided, we fight tenaciously and efficiently for our clients.  Our attorneys also assist clients in implementing dispute resolution procedures (including dispute review boards, mediation, fact focused negotiations and other creative approaches), drafting equipment supply and construction agreements (including customizing AIA documents), and counseling clients on the management and avoidance of construction claims and disputes.  Over the years we have developed relationships with construction industry experts that assist us in preparing for, and winning construction-related lawsuits.

Bolstered by our experience in real estate, insurance, community association and business litigation, we are uniquely positioned to handle the diverse challenges that confront the construction industry, including government issues, project finance issues, environmental regulations, bankruptcy issues, real estate transactions and labor and employment issues.
