Construction

The Taylor Porter Construction team routinely represents and advises local, state, and national construction industry leaders, including owners, general contractors, subcontractors, homebuilders, architects, engineers, material and equipment suppliers, and manufacturers. From construction defect litigation to disputes over nonpayment, mechanics’ liens and bond claims to construction delay claims, and contract negotiations and reviews to public bidding law disputes, our firm’s construction lawyers have a wealth of experience and expertise in the various legal issues facing the construction industry.
