It is not uncommon for us to be called in during the early stages of a project to manage disputes, claims, or change orders well before the construction project is completed. At times our early involvement has successfully avoided a larger dispute. We have had success with resolving disputes at an early stage before any suit or arbitration proceeding was instituted. We have also been engaged as a consultant to counsel for a party to provide the benefit of our knowledge and experience to assist in the prosecution or defense of matters within our primary field of practice, Louisiana construction law. We are available for consultation with other law firms whether for negotiation on claims or change orders, arbitration, mediation, for trial or appellate work, or on writ applications. We can handle construction cases from initial investigation, claims preparation, and negotiation, and, if required, through trial and all appeals, or we can consult with you or your lawyer to assist in resolving your dispute.
