At Nonaj Law, our Construction Law practice delivers comprehensive legal services to developers, general contractors, subcontractors, investors, property owners, lenders, architects, and design professionals engaged in the full spectrum of construction and infrastructure projects. We understand that construction ventures are multifaceted undertakings, often involving significant capital investment, intricate contractual frameworks, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. Our role is to ensure that our clients’ legal rights and financial interests are protected at every stage of the process.
Contract Negotiation and Drafting
From the outset, our attorneys provide sophisticated counsel in contract negotiation and drafting, including design-build agreements, joint venture agreements, subcontracts, and construction management contracts. We ensure that terms governing scope of work, indemnity provisions, liquidated damages, force majeure, payment schedules, change orders, and dispute resolution clauses are meticulously crafted to safeguard client interests and mitigate foreseeable risks.
Project Financing and Regulatory Compliance
We advise clients on project financing, guiding them through lending structures, credit facilities, surety bonds, and lien rights. Our services extend to navigating complex zoning laws, land use regulations, building code compliance, environmental permitting, and occupational safety requirements, ensuring that projects proceed in accordance with both U.S. and European legal frameworks. We also address labor and employment issues, including union negotiations, prevailing wage requirements, and workplace safety compliance under OSHA and EU directives.
Dispute Resolution
When disputes arise, our firm provides vigorous representation in litigation, arbitration, and mediation. We handle matters such as breach of contract, construction defects, professional negligence, project delays, payment disputes, mechanics’ liens, warranty claims, insurance coverage disputes, and regulatory enforcement actions. Our attorneys bring experience in both domestic and cross-border proceedings, with the ability to navigate the procedural and substantive nuances of multiple jurisdictions.
International Construction Projects
With offices in New York and Milan, we are strategically positioned to counsel clients on international construction projects, cross-border infrastructure financing, and compliance with both U.S. law and EU directives. This dual-jurisdictional capability enables us to advise on matters ranging from public-private partnerships (PPPs) and government procurement to international arbitration standards.
