Bingham litigators combine first-hand knowledge of construction and project finance with extensive negotiation, alternative dispute resolution and trial experience. Because construction disputes on troubled projects usually arise before construction is completed, we strive to implement effective and innovative solutions to your company’s problem that keeps the project moving forward. If disputes remain, we are equipped to negotiate, mediate and, when necessary, litigate a resolution on your behalf.
Our construction litigators represent owners, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, lenders and others in disputes throughout the United States and abroad. We address contractor non-performance and procurement, as well as bid protests, change order disputes, project delays, insurance claims, bond and lien issues, and False Claims Act claims.
Bingham lawyers also have broad experience in project development, negotiation of construction-related contracts, project development financing, handling of project RFQs and RFPs, site selection, permitting and environmental issues related to construction projects, operation and maintenance agreements, and project disposition.
In project finance, our efforts encompass all facets of commercial, industrial, healthcare, energy and telecom developments, at home and abroad. Our experience also includes traditional construction disputes and finance-related issues unique to the project finance setting. These are typically non-recourse financed, turn-key projects, often in the process or electrical generation area. We represent owners, lenders and turn-key contractors in myriad issues, including disputes over project technology, start-up, funding and payments. Cases have involved U.S. and international arbitration and U.S.-based litigation.
