What Is Construction Law?

Construction law is a broad legal practice area that governs the planning, execution, and resolution of issues related to construction projects. It involves the interpretation and enforcement of contracts, compliance with safety and zoning regulations, handling of payments and liens, and resolution of disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.

Michigan construction law protects the rights of both property owners and construction professionals while ensuring projects meet regulatory, contractual, and safety standards.

Legal Processes Involved in Construction Law Cases

Construction law cases can involve multiple steps and parties, and each project brings its own set of challenges. Our firm provides comprehensive guidance to ensure each phase is handled with skill and attention to detail.

Typical legal steps in a construction case may include:

  • Initial consultation and case evaluation
  • Reviewing project contracts and documentation
  • Negotiating terms or dispute resolution options
  • Filing or responding to legal claims or liens
  • Discovery of project records, photos, and expert reports
  • Mediation or arbitration (where required by contract)
  • Trial preparation and court representation (if necessary)
  • Post-resolution enforcement or compliance actions

Our attorneys aim to prevent problems before they arise—and resolve them efficiently when they do.

  • Misunderstandings or ambiguities in contracts
  • Delays caused by change orders, supply chain issues, or weather
  • Subcontractor disputes or nonperformance
  • Nonpayment or improper invoicing
