Resolving disputes with minimal disruption

Risks are inherent in every construction project, whether loan defaults or contractor performance issues and supplier delivery issues. When these risks come to fruition, it can cause a waterfall effect that threatens the success of the project. Managing these risks demand skilled legal representation.

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig represents clients in construction disputes, including contract litigation, contract termination, insolvency, defect litigation, dispute resolution, lien perfection, and lien litigation. Our goals are to resolve disputes in a way that minimizes disruption and defend clients against claims of liability.

Our construction litigation experience

Our goal is to help owners, builders, developers, construction companies, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, engineers, and architects resolve disputes while avoiding any unnecessary risks, delays, and costs in the process.
