Lopez Law Group represents general contractors and subcontractors in multi-family, education, and commercial building litigation in state court, federal court, and arbitration. We work with our clients and their carriers to secure the best outcome available, typically alongside and against developers' counsel and counsel for the other stakeholders. LLG is also regularly brought in on the eve of trial to take over construction matters from prior counsel.
Litigation and counsel for contractors, subcontractors, and developers
Construction disputes are rarely two-party affairs. A single defect claim can pull in the general contractor, a half-dozen subs, the design professionals, the developer, and every carrier behind them — each with its own indemnity position and its own theory of whose work failed.
Lopez Law Group represents construction clients ranging from small local builders to one of the largest HVAC companies in North America. Our commercial and residential construction practice covers both the litigation and the contract drafting that prevents it.
What we handle
Construction defect litigation. Commercial and residential defect actions, including multi-party matters requiring expert coordination, destructive testing protocols, and allocation among responsible parties.
Risk transfer. Indemnity provisions, additional-insured tenders, and the analysis of which contract governs and who owes a defense. Getting this right early often resolves a client's exposure entirely.
Delay, payment, and lien disputes. Mechanic's liens, payment bond claims, change order and scope disagreements, and delay and disruption claims.
Contract drafting and review. Prime contracts, subcontracts, and purchase orders — with attention to the indemnity, insurance, notice, and dispute resolution provisions that determine what happens when something goes wrong.
Why clients keep us
Litigation teaches you exactly where a contract fails. We put that experience directly into the agreements our construction clients sign next.
