Representing Clients In Construction Disputes
Construction projects often involve numerous parties and significant financial investments, making disputes a serious threat to timelines, budgets, and relationships. When disputes arise, they can bring projects to a halt or derail them entirely. At Sherry Law Office, PLLC, we have extensive experience representing contractors, developers, property owners, and other stakeholders in construction disputes throughout South Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. We work proactively to identify and resolve issues in real-time, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
Common Causes Of Construction Litigation
Construction disputes often stem from unresolved conflicts between construction companies, contractors, owners, and other parties. These conflicts typically arise due to negligence, breaches of contract, or allegations of fraud. Sherry Law Office, PLLC, represents clients in a wide variety of disputes, including those caused by:
- Unreasonable Delays: Delays from weather, labor shortages, or poor planning can lead to financial losses and disputes over liability.
- Inadequate Quality of Work: Failing to meet industry standards or contractual obligations may expose contractors to claims.
- Improper Materials Used: Using materials not specified in the contract can result in disputes, especially when quality or cost concerns arise.
- Abandoned Projects: When a construction company abandons a project without valid reasons, affected parties may pursue legal action.
- Non-Payment: Disputes over unpaid compensation often lead to litigation or other legal remedies.
We understand that each construction dispute is unique. We help clients determine the most appropriate and cost-effective path to resolution, which may include mediation, arbitration, or litigation. Many construction contracts mandate arbitration, where an arbitrator issues a binding decision, while others require mediation prior to bringing suit. Led by Jason B. Sherry, Esq., our team has successfully mediated, arbitrated, and litigated countless construction disputes, recovering millions of dollars for clients.
