Construction and Mechanics Liens

Mechanics' Lien Laws have been enacted to protect those furnishing labor, material, and/or equipment for the improvement of real property. Construction documents and contract may also create lien rights on other improvements to real property. The statute establishing mechanic's lien as well as the contract documents often contain rigid Notice and Filing requirements in order to assert and protect the lien interest.

We work with project owners, service providers and contract holders to analyze potential trouble spots and resolve in-progress disputes. We understand the interrelation between contract, property and banking laws that impact initial or subsequent improvements of real property and work with all parties to create solutions that clear the title to real property in the most effective and efficient manner possible.

Our experience includes:

• Evaluation and assistance with respect to delay damages and other in-progress construction disputes;
• Preparation and filing of required mechanics liens;
• Prosecution and defense of mechanics lien foreclosures;
• Real Estate and Construction Defects Litigation; and
• Representation for construction related Arbitration
