When choosing a lawyer, many often go for the general practitioner that may not know a hammer from a mallet.&nbsp; An excellent article written by Eugene H. Heady explores this issue and makes a powerful case for finding a lawyer that specializes in construction when construction claims arise.&nbsp; The text of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexology.com\/library\/detail.aspx?g=4615f397-495d-4883-bf26-9dd530d8670d&amp;utm_source=lexology+daily+newsfeed&amp;utm_medium=html+email+-+body+-+federal+section&amp;utm_campaign=lexology+subscriber+daily+feed&amp;utm_content=lexology+daily+newsfeed+2012-07-17&amp;utm_term=\">article<\/a> is reprinted here.<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;As your business grows it becomes increasingly more important to have  available a trusted team of financial and legal advisors.&nbsp; Including an  experienced construction lawyer on your team can go a long way to help  keep your projects out of trouble and thus help ensure that your  business remains healthy and profitable.<br \/>   Claims and disputes in the construction industry are commonplace.&nbsp; On a  construction project of any complexity, disputes are often the rule\u2013not  the exception.&nbsp; During the lifetime of most construction companies, it  is likely that the company will become embroiled in a claim or dispute  that cannot be resolved without the assistance of a lawyer.&nbsp; While it is  best to avoid construction claims and disputes from the beginning of a  project, it is important to resolve them quickly and efficiently once  they arise.<br \/>   Avoidance or a quick resolution of disputes is often crucial to the  economic success of the project.&nbsp; Claims and disputes involving  construction projects tend to be technically complex and factually  intensive.&nbsp; As a result, arbitration or litigation of construction  disputes can be time consuming and costly.<br \/>   Construction litigation is generally characterized as \u201ccomplex  litigation\u201d because the legal and procedural issues involved are  typically very complex.&nbsp; If you are faced with a construction claim or  dispute, it is very important not only to hire a lawyer who knows his or  her legal trade but to hire a lawyer who also knows the construction  trade\u2014i.e., hire a seasoned construction lawyer.<br \/>   <strong>Hire a seasoned construction lawyer, not a general practitioner.<\/strong><br \/>   Your first goal should be to find a lawyer with a thorough knowledge of  the construction industry.&nbsp; Owning a pickup truck and having a law  license does not make one a construction lawyer.&nbsp; Nonetheless, there is  no shortage of available lawyers who have handled a few matters for  construction companies and later market themselves as \u201cconstruction  attorneys.\u201d&nbsp; Successfully drafting construction contracts or later  litigating, arbitrating, mediating, negotiating or otherwise resolving  construction claims and disputes, however, requires that the lawyer have  a thorough familiarity with the construction industry and a thorough  knowledge of the unique problems that arise on construction projects.<br \/>   When selecting a construction lawyer, you should consider the  following.&nbsp; Does the lawyer and the lawyer\u2019s firm concentrate on  representing participants involved in the construction industry?&nbsp; Does  the lawyer understand the construction business and have experience in  helping construction participants avoid and efficiently resolve  construction claims and disputes?&nbsp; Does the lawyer have any practical  hands-on experience in the construction industry?&nbsp; Does the lawyer have a  background in construction, engineering or architecture?&nbsp; Note that  while having a technical or construction background is certainly very  helpful, many outstanding construction lawyers have never picked up a  hammer.&nbsp; If presented with disputes while the project is ongoing, does  the lawyer understand that typically it is critically important to keep  the project moving forward while helping to resolve disputes that may  threaten to derail the project?&nbsp; Has the lawyer published, lectured and  taught on construction law topics?&nbsp; Is the lawyer someone whom you can  trust and someone with whom you can develop a long term relationship?<br \/>   Also consider the law firm that the construction lawyer is associated  with.&nbsp; How deep is the law firm\u2019s bench of construction lawyers?&nbsp; What  is the breadth of their experience?&nbsp; What sub-specialties are they  focused on?&nbsp; Do other members of the law firm have focused experience in  particular construction law issues that can be drawn upon if  necessary?&nbsp; If the law firm has an extensive in-house network of  construction lawyers, the collective experience and knowledge base of  those lawyers can be a tremendous asset to the client.&nbsp; Have other  members of the law firm extensively published, lectured and taught on a  wide variety of construction law topics?&nbsp; Is the law firm, and are its  members, actively involved in the construction industry?&nbsp; Is the law  firm, and are its members, actively involved in trade associations?&nbsp;  Does the law firm keep abreast of current legal issues and changes in  the law affecting the construction industry?&nbsp; Is the law firm dedicated  to sharing that information with the industry via newsletters, white  papers and client alerts?&nbsp; How long has the law firm been in business?&nbsp;  Does the law firm have an established national practice so that it can  support you as your own business grows and expands into other  geographical regions?&nbsp; Is the law firm, and are its members,  well-respected by their industry peers?&nbsp; Has the law firm earned a good,  solid national reputation within the construction industry?<br \/>   <strong>Get a seasoned construction lawyer involved early.&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>   Consider developing a long term professional relationship with an  experienced construction lawyer.&nbsp; A seasoned construction lawyer can be a  very important member of your team of valued and trusted advisors.&nbsp;  Most participants in the construction process who have been involved in a  contentious claim or dispute will agree that one of the best ways to  avoid a claim or dispute is to get a seasoned construction lawyer  involved at the very beginning of a project and, certainly, as soon as a  claim or dispute arises.<br \/>   A seasoned construction lawyer can assist and support you in obtaining  \u201cquiet\u201d successes by providing thoughtful and experience-based advice  and counseling that enable you to achieve your business goals without  contentious disputes or protracted litigation.&nbsp; If litigation or  arbitration becomes necessary to resolve a claim or dispute, a seasoned  construction lawyer can help you develop parallel strategies to (1)  efficiently advance the case toward a court verdict or an arbitration  award, and (2) identify and seize upon opportunities to resolve claims  and settle disputes early.<br \/>   On the front end of a project, the construction lawyer can help draft  or review contracts and provide sage advice regarding how best to  allocate and manage contractual risks.&nbsp; During the construction phase of  a project, the construction lawyer can help guide you through the  minefields that often threaten the economic success of a project.&nbsp;  Construction claims and disputes during construction typically involve  very short deadlines and strict contractual notice requirements. When a  claim or dispute arises, the construction lawyer can help develop  strategies for resolving the claim or dispute early or for minimizing  the risks going forward. On the back end of a project, the construction  lawyer can assist you in: closing out the project; collecting unpaid  contract balances; and perfecting lien and bond claims.&nbsp; In most states,  the courts strictly interpret statutes governing mechanics\u2019 and  materialmen\u2019s liens and claims against payment and performance bonds.&nbsp;  Courts strictly enforce the relatively short filing deadlines associated  with lien and bond claims.&nbsp; Thus, it is critically important that you  do not wait until days before the filing deadline to contact a  construction lawyer for assistance.<br \/>   Initiate a Conflicts Check.&nbsp; The construction industry is sometimes a  small world.&nbsp; Understand that once you have selected a construction  lawyer, there may be existing conflicts or potential conflicts of  interest that prevent the selected lawyer from representing you on a  particular matter.&nbsp; For example, the lawyer may already be representing  an opposing party.&nbsp; When you first contact your selected construction  lawyer regarding any new matter, you should expect the lawyer to run a  \u201cconflicts check\u201d before the lawyer can discuss your case with you.&nbsp; The  purpose of running a conflicts check is to make sure that the law firm  does not already represent someone whose interests are opposed to  yours.&nbsp; Thus, before you share any confidential information with the  lawyer, be prepared to provide the following information: (1) name of  your company and the names of all related business entities; (2) names  of all adverse parties with interests opposed to yours; (3) names of all  potentially adverse parties; (4) the project name; and (5) the project  location.&nbsp; Once the construction lawyer has reported that there are no  conflicts, you will then be free to candidly discuss the facts of your  case.<br \/>   <strong>Prepare and organize for the initial conference.&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>   There are many reasons to hire a construction lawyer.&nbsp; For example,  your objective in hiring a construction lawyer may be to (1) have a  contract reviewed or drafted, (2) get an evaluation of a claim or  dispute, (3) file a lawsuit or prepare a demand for arbitration, (4)  obtain a defense of an action filed against you, (5) initiate a request  for mediation, (6) file a lien, (7)&nbsp; assist in recovering an unpaid  contract balance, or (8) to get legal advice about the consequences of a  particular course of action.&nbsp; In any event, be prepared to define and  discuss your overall objectives and to clearly communicate what you  would like to achieve by involving the construction lawyer.<br \/>   Organize your files before meeting with your construction lawyer.&nbsp; Have  handy all of the documents, including contracts, subcontracts, or  purchase orders, that may be relevant to the issues you would like to  discuss.&nbsp; The quality and completeness of the information that you  provide to your lawyer can have a direct impact on the reliability of  any predicted outcomes that are discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many construction companies are not aware that there are lawyers that specialize in construction and business development for construction companies.
