What Type of Lawyer Do I Need for Construction Litigation?

When hiring a contractor for a home improvement project or another construction-related task, we expect professionalism, quality work, and timely completion. Unfortunately, finding the perfect contractor can be challenging. Many homeowners face delays, unexpected costs, or contractors demanding excessive upfront payments. Worse yet, some contractors disappear with their clients’ money without completing work.

If you’ve entered into a contract with a contractor and they fail to meet their obligations, this may constitute a breach of contract. A breach can range from minor issues, like a short delay, to significant problems, such as failing to perform agreed-upon work or violating Colorado’s Construction Trust Fund Statute. Resolving these disputes often starts with open communication, but legal action may be necessary to recover damages if that fails.

Experienced in Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Choosing the right lawyer is critical when dealing with contractor disputes. Construction disputes require a unique blend of legal expertise: civil litigation skills, business acumen, and deep knowledge of construction law. You need a lawyer who is all three—not one or the other.

Construction disputes often involve filing a lawsuit for breach of contract, a civil matter. A skilled civil litigator is essential to representing your interests in court or during settlement negotiations. They focus on achieving the best possible outcome through alternative dispute resolution or litigation.

We Understand Business Law

Because contractors operate as businesses, their contracts, practices, and disputes are rooted in business law. Business lawyers understand the nuances of contracts, payment terms, and financial obligations, ensuring your case is built on a strong legal foundation. They can also identify contractual provisions—such as mediation or arbitration—that may impact your case.

Construction disputes often involve technical issues unique to the industry, such as building codes, construction schedules, and compliance with statutes like Colorado’s Construction Trust Fund Statute. A construction lawyer understands these complexities and can provide critical insights into industry standards and legal requirements.
