Our substantial experience in construction law has given us the opportunity to represent a variety of industry professionals: owners, developers, construction managers, architects, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, equipment lessors, sureties, consulting and management firms.
We have also worked to resolve matters with each of these industry professionals, including all levels of government entities, such as water management districts, the Florida Department of Transportation, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and many others.
Our attorneys’ personal work experience in the construction and design industry allows us to counsel clients throughout the construction process, from bid selection and contract negotiation to warranty periods and claims resolution, with a real understanding of our client’s position.
We help clients on all phases of construction projects, from design and planning, to contract negotiation, preparation, bidding and review, construction, insurance coverage and claims, surety/bond issues and dispute avoidance and resolution.
We help clients assess risk and provide advice on their rights, obligations and options.
Widerman Malek, PL’s construction attorneys have handled numerous and varied construction-related cases, many of which have involved extremely complex issues with multiple defendants and a multitude of construction defects. Our construction attorneys represent clients in both transactions and disputes ranging from single and multi-family dwellings to large commercial buildings, planned unit developments, retail, and governmental projects.
The attorneys in our construction law practice have the skill and experience to advise construction professionals on matters including construction contract preparation, bid protests, permitting, management and scheduling disputes, minority or woman-owned business certification issues, lien and bond claims, payment disputes, and breach of contract claims. Although we have significant experience in litigating construction matters from pre-suit demand through trial and the appeals process, we recognize the value of alternative resolution methods such as arbitration and mediation. We also recognize the need for practical answers to technical questions that often arise prior to, during, and after construction projects.
