Construction Law
Osborn provides strategic advice in planning and implementing overall capital improvement programs, from project inception through final completion. These legal services include assistance in forming the project team through selecting design professionals, environmental consultants, and other professionals to carry out the project, and assistance in preparing bid packages and awarding the construction contract.
We are often initially called upon to assist an owner or developer during the litigation process. Through the years, we have found that if owners and developers work together closely with counsel, design professionals and construction managers from the outset, projects have a higher probability of being completed on time and within budget. We have had consistent success in contributing to effective project delivery when we are retained by an owner at the project’s inception.
Our extensive experience gives us a unique understanding of what can go wrong with construction and renovation projects and how to minimize risk and avoid problems through proper contract drafting, clear communication, and close oversight.
Through years of experience Osborn is able to raise issues which give rise to liability and allows the Firm to work with the client to avoid and manage risk. The Firm understands the need to build a record and manage communications cautiously and confidentially.
To the extent that claims are not able to be solved at project close out, Osborn. has a depth of experience and success in effectively resolving disputes through court, dispute resolutions boards, arbitration and mediation.
