Construction or building contract matters may present themselves as failure-to-pay or collection cases, but due to the specialized nature of this area of the law, successful litigation and recovery of accounts receivable from owners, contractors, or subcontractors involves more than a simple civil suit.  Additionally, owners’ and general contractors’ interests need protection from incompetent or unscrupulous contractors and subcontractors who attempt to claim money which the owners do not owe, or have reason to withhold payment by virtue of inadequate, defective or untimely performance.  Also, a failed construction project usually results in many, if not all of the parties involved pointing fingers at each other as to whom is at fault for the project’s failure, and a client will need an experienced construction practitioner to wield a sword as well as a shield to protect their interests.
