Preventing Legal Disputes From Arising
In over 30 years of working as construction lawyers and possessing real-world experience in the construction industry, the attorneys at Ray M. Toma, PC, have seen firsthand the kinds of disputes that derail projects.
The most common disagreements stem from payment issues, which can quickly result in liens, bond claims, work stoppages and even lawsuits. To mitigate these risks, there are several proactive measures a commercial or residential business can take to keep a project moving smoothly and prevent legal disputes from arising:
- Implement clear, highly detailed construction contracts from the outset to define the exact scope of work and payment schedules.
- Maintain open, transparent and consistent communication with all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.
- Establish strict documentation protocols for any change orders, scope adjustments or delays on the job site.
- Work with experienced legal counsel to meticulously track and overcome the complex deadlines and requirements for liens and bonds.
When working on a construction project or hiring subcontractors to perform work, the stakes are exceptionally high. Construction contracts can involve substantial financial cost and risk for all parties involved. If a business is entering into such a contract, it is essential to have an assertive legal advocate step in to review the terms and protect their best interests.
