HCP's Construction Practice Group provides comprehensive legal representation to a diverse range of clients in commercial and residential construction disputes, including owners, insurers, contractors, architects, and tradespeople. The firm offers aggressive defense strategies, swift response services in urgent situations, and expertise in arbitration, litigation, mechanic's liens, construction contracts, and alternative dispute resolution methods to protect clients' interests effectively.

The Construction Practice Group at HCP serves a diverse range of clients, including owners, insurers, general contractors, developers, architects, and tradespeople, in both commercial and residential litigation, as well as in pre-litigation matters. Our firm often mediates disputes to help parties avoid costly delays and litigation expenses. When amicable agreements cannot be reached, HCP attorneys have a proven track record of success in arbitration and litigation.

One reason for our long history of successful outcomes is our ability to respond swiftly to our clients’ urgent needs. HCP attorneys are frequently called to provide “first response” services in the event of potential catastrophic losses. We arrive on-site to coordinate with experts, preserve evidence, and interview witnesses. The groundwork for our attorneys’ success at trial or during arbitration—often taking place years later—is established in the critical hours and days following a loss.

HCP attorneys have represented clients in arbitration and litigation related to design and construction defects, bodily injury and property damage claims, property insurance coverage disputes, and environmental property issues. Additionally, HCP assists clients with filing and defending mechanic’s liens and with drafting construction contracts.
