Construction Law Resources
Any construction project is a “problem in progress.” What separates successful owners, contractors and subcontractors from the others is their ability to not only effectively manage these problems, but also understand their national contractor rights, and in The Buckeye State, their Ohio subcontractor rights.
Knowing this, can there be any doubt that one of the most important qualities to look for in a construction law attorney is problem-solving experience?
The ability to understand the exciting, yet complex nature of today’s construction industry, to anticipate potential obstacles and to effectively solve problems sets the construction law attorneys at Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter apart.
At Kegler Brown, our representation as general counsel for numerous international construction trade associations, including the American Subcontractors Association (ASA), the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry (AWCI), and the National Ground Water Association (NGWA), has provided unparalleled experience and has placed our attorneys on the cutting edge of industry developments.
Whether representing contractors, subcontractors, owners or design professionals, the ability of our construction law attorneys to navigate the maze of complex legal issues involved with major construction projects, from start to finish, has enabled our attorneys to successfully:
- serve as project counsel on Ohio's largest highway, school, stadium and arena projects
- negotiate and draft well-accepted trade association contract documents
- write and pass important legislation such as the Prompt Payment Act and Fairness in Construction Contracting Act
- win the landmark competitive bidding case in Ohio
- establish the Spearin doctrine in Ohio
- defend and prosecute complex multi-million dollar claims in all venues on a regular basis
(While Kegler Brown specializes in Ohio construction law, our staff also has a keen knowledge of national construction regulations, as well.)
At Kegler Brown, we believe understanding the law also means understanding the entire construction process - from design and bid to punchlist - which is why we provide services in all aspects of construction law, including bids, contracts, mechanic’s liens, mediations, arbitrations and litigation of claims.
Not only does our Ohio construction law firm provide outstanding legal counsel in a timely and cost-effective manner, we also advise our clients on the impact changes in the construction industry will have on their operations. We know our client's business, help define and pursue their objectives, recommend preventive measures and add real value to their efforts - in Ohio and beyond.
