Going beyond protecting your interests, the top five reasons to hire a construction attorney can help you:

1. Avoid Litigation–Even with the slickest designed contracts, disputes can and most assuredly will arise and instead of dealing with time consuming and costly litigation, your construction attorney will assist you with exploring other options, such as mediation and arbitration.
2. Handle Contract Negotiations–Especially true with government contracts or any projects that require federal intervention, your construction attorney will help navigate these negotiations to ensure you get the best contract possible.
3. Prevent Back-End Mistakes–Whether this comes from a cash flow issue due to a vendors or suppliers not fulfilling their end of the deal or from workers refusing to show up to a site because of pay issues, your construction attorney prepares against these undesirable outcomes through construction liens, etc.
4. Provide Legal Protection–It should be no surprise that construction is one of the most dangerous jobs. Therefore, employers are required to maintain a safe working environment. Your construction attorney will help protect you from third-party liability suits, such as injury claims resulting from others’ negligence among other civil actions that could be taken against you.
5. Relief for Your General Counsel–Your company may already have its own in-house or general council, but they may not specialize in construction law or contract law. They might be swamped with other tasks and projects. Let your specialized construction attorney provide assistance and take the lead on issues related to construction law.
