Construction Litigation and
Arbitration
The attorneys
of Van Kerrebrook & Associates P.C. have represented a broad
spectrum of the construction industry including: owners, developers,
general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.
Construction disputes can be costly and time consuming. So, we work
with our clients from early in each matter to identify goals and
effective strategies for resolution. When early resolution has not
been possible, our attorneys have obtained favorable results in both
construction lawsuits and construction arbitrations.
Representative
matters include: *
- Obtained
recovery of funds due materialmen in several projects.
- Favorably
resolved series of retainage claims against owner, associated
with significant renovation, without formal litigation.
- Recovered
funds due contractor in payment dispute with public owner.
-
Represented all parties to mechanics’ and materialmen’s lien and
bonds claims, on both public and private contracts, and in
lawsuits for removal of improper liens on behalf of property
owners.
- In
arbitration brought by owner against general contractor, the
firm’s lawyers showed that all construction problems were caused
by design defects and not by the general contractor. The
arbitrator denied the owner’s claims against the general
contractor, in their entirety.
- Obtained
and collected judgment on behalf of general contractor against
private owners for completed work.
- Recovered
claim for sub-contractor in aggressively-fought lawsuit against
general contractor and surety.
* In every matter, the results obtained depend on the facts of the
case. Since every factual situation is different, past performance
is not a guarantee of future results |
