Our attorneys come from a variety of backgrounds – from career construction litigators to in-house counsel responsible for managing corporate construction portfolios – and appreciate the need to keep projects on track and on schedule. As such, we bring meaningful, firsthand knowledge of the construction project management, cost estimation and risk assessment issues that arise at each point in a project’s lifecycle. We are also at the forefront of breaking trends and developing issues through active involvement in construction and surety legal associations.
Construction Litigation and Dispute Resolution
While we work closely with our clients to cost-effectively resolve disputes, we also recognize that litigation sometimes is unavoidable. CSG Law clients benefit from our litigation and arbitration experience in federal, state and bankruptcy courts, as well as before local, regional and national tribunals.
Architect and Engineer Professional Liability
CSG Law has represented architects and engineers in defense of defective design cases, as well as owners, contractors and sureties in claims against architects and engineers for negligent or defective design. Leveraging their extensive backgrounds in construction and construction litigation, our attorneys have litigated construction and design errors and omissions cases in New York, New Jersey and throughout the U.S.
Construction Contracting
In the area of construction contracting, CSG Law represents clients involved in a broad range of projects – from flight simulation and testing facilities to entertainment venues and biomedical facilities. We negotiate architect’s agreements, construction management agreements, design/build contracts and a variety of other construction agreements. We are well-versed in both public construction and the bid process for state-funded projects.
