Construction projects involve complex contractual relationships, substantial financial commitments, and competing interests that can give rise to significant disputes. Peck Baxter represents developers, property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, and other construction industry participants in resolving disputes arising at every stage of the construction process. Our attorneys handle a broad range of matters, including breach of contract, construction defects, defective workmanship, project delays, cost overruns, payment disputes, mechanic’s liens, warranty claims, and disputes involving design deficiencies, change orders, and project performance.

Our construction litigation practice combines sophisticated trial advocacy with a practical understanding of the commercial, financial, and operational realities of real estate development and construction. We recognize that construction disputes frequently involve more than competing legal claims—they can threaten project schedules, financing arrangements, business relationships, and the economic viability of an entire development. Drawing on extensive experience in real estate development, complex commercial transactions, and litigation, our attorneys evaluate disputes within the broader context of our clients’ business objectives, identifying opportunities to mitigate risk, preserve project value, and achieve favorable outcomes.

Peck Baxter approaches construction disputes with an emphasis on strategic planning, efficient resolution, and aggressive advocacy when circumstances demand it. Whether negotiating a resolution before litigation, pursuing claims through mediation or arbitration, or litigating complex construction matters in state and federal courts, we provide disciplined, results-oriented representation tailored to the stakes of each dispute. Our objective is not simply to resolve the immediate controversy, but to protect our clients’ investments, contractual rights, and long-term business interests.
