Business and Construction Litigation

Business and Construction Litigation

Quall Cardot LLP represents clients in most areas of civil litigation of a monetary nature. Our attorneys seek to resolve disputes and eliminate problems for clients through pre-litigation counseling and will aggressively advocate for clients in litigation, mediation, arbitration, and trial when those disputes cannot be avoided.

Companies are often faced with complex issues and disputes with other businesses, individuals and governmental regulatory agencies. Our litigation attorneys are well-versed in handling complex business disputes and are often times involved at the outset, providing guidance and counseling to resolve the dispute with the least amount of disruption to your business and your bottom line. And when negotiations break down, our attorneys have the experience to aggressively advocate your position.

We aggressively seek litigation solutions short of trial, and have significant expertise in alternative dispute resolution through mediation and arbitration. We have successful track records in state and federal courts, on appeal and in private arbitrations. When settlement is not an option, we bring a vast array of experience to the courtroom. Like any business, we are keenly aware of the bottom line and strive to achieve our clients’ business objectives efficiently and effectively.

Representative matters we have successfully handled for our clients:

  • Breach of Contract
  • Breach of Fiduciary Duty
  • Business Torts
  • Fraud Claims
  • Partnership/Shareholder Disputes
  • Private Deals/Post-Closing Disputes
  • Bad Faith Litigation
  • Restrictive Covenant/Trade Secret Litigation
  • Insurance Disputes

Not all projects go as planned. From bidding to completion, issues arise onsite (and off) that require constant attention and an intimate understanding of construction law. From counseling and advice during construction, to aggressive advocacy in litigation, our construction lawyers have handled major construction claims (prosecuting and defending), and are thoroughly familiar with what it takes to minimize exposure and ensure our clients are paid in full. We have handled delay claims, claims for extra work and cost overruns, surety disputes, default termination, defended against liquidated damage claims (and enforced the assessment thereof), and pursued mechanics’ lien and stop notice remedies. We have decades of trial experience as well as alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration.

We represent contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and owners in a wide variety of private and public construction matters at the federal, state, and local level.  In both private and public contexts, our attorneys are skilled in advising clients during all phases of construction, from pre-construction through project completion.  The principal areas of our construction practice include Construction Project Documents, Construction Litigation, and Public and Private Works counseling and litigation.

Representative matters we have successfully handled for our clients:

  • Bid Disputes
  • Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act
  • Subcontractor Listing/Replacement/Mitigation
  • Contract Formation and Negotiation
  • Extra Work/Direct and Consequential Damage and Delay Claims (Defense and Prosecution)
