Contractor Liability

Construction contractors and subcontractors are among the most exposed professionals in the legal world of developer and construction litigation. Every line and paragraph of a bid or contract is open to legal liability if the contractor or subcontractor delivers late or delivers a defective product.

In many development projects, contractors are tied to subcontractors who did not deliver as promised. Getting paid takes a lot more than recording mechanic’s liens, submitting change orders and processing progress payment applications. Litigation and contractor liability disputes can tie up your company for years.

At Sack Rosendin Inc., our lawyers represent developers, contractors and subcontractors who become involved in contract disputes — either as a plaintiff against a construction owner or contractor who failed to pay, or as aggressive defense against a complaint filed against your company for defects or delays.

What Services Do We Offer?

We have done it all, representing owners, architects, engineers, government planners and others in a variety of matters such as:

  • Negotiating and performing design contracts
  • Addressing problems with fulfillment
  • Addressing delays and change orders at the design phase
  • Finding financing options to ensure payment of the contractor and vendors

We also help clients draft and coordinate construction contracts and subcontracts, enforcing them from the owner’s and contractor’s sides. Other services include change orders, mechanics’ lien enforcement and defense, bankruptcy, construction defects resulting from defective soils and foundations, and leaky roofs and windows. We have solved these and other problems on behalf of clients. Let our experience work for you.
