Construction Law

At Hudson Lambert Parrott Walker we share the entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence of our clients in the construction industry. HLPW attorneys regularly represent general contractors, owners, developers, designers and large specialty contractors in complex construction projects. We have decades of experience assisting and advising our clients in connection with a wide array of complex projects in both the public and private sector. Our construction lawyers have helped structure some of the largest development and construction projects in the Southeast. We routinely advise our clients on complex claims arising out of heavy industrial, commercial, transportation, institutional, hospital, mixed-use and multi-family projects. Our representation ranges from drafting the contract documents to resolving the disputes. Because of our extensive experience in every aspect of construction law, operations and contracts, HLPW provides our clients with a proven, pragmatic approach to dispute resolution. We recognize the significant drain, both in time and resources, disputes place on our clients. Therefore, our focus is to craft resolutions that are swift and economically efficient. We provide evaluative handling of matters with a focus on crafting creative and successful solutions to complex problems. However, in the event resolution cannot be achieved, our attorneys are experienced litigators equipped to protect the interests of our clients.

We use a proprietary task-based model that allows us to communicate with our clients about any matter in real time. Clients can track the schedule and costs of our work in the same way they would on their projects, including on our clients’ mobile devices.

Our construction litigators successfully litigate and arbitrate disputes nationally, having tried or arbitrated hundreds of cases in more than 20 different states. We have the experience, resources and bench depth to handle any size construction project from planning to dispute resolution.
