Overview

Covering the full lifecycle of real estate deals and construction matters

Real estate and construction transactions can be fraught with risks. Contractual disputes may arise regarding terms and conditions, performance, payment, and delays. Construction projects must comply with local zoning and land use regulations or risk delays, legal actions, and fines. Defects and accidents in construction projects can lead to claims of property damage, personal injury, or breach of warranty. And the failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations can result in liability, fines, and reputational damage. This is why it is so important to have competent legal representation for construction projects.

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig offers comprehensive legal services in real estate and construction law. From contract negotiation and drafting to due diligence, land use and zoning compliance, and dispute resolution, we provide comprehensive solutions throughout the real estate and construction process.
