TFW counsels and represents all segments of the construction industry in virtually all types of disputes. TFW regularly handles disputes about delays, labor inefficiencies, payment, materials, construction defects, payment bonds, performance bonds, foreclosure of mechanics liens, and defective design, among others.

TFW’s construction litigation can be broken down into the following three areas: pre-litigation resolution, litigation, and Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Pre-Litigation Resolution

In many situations valuable business relationships need to be considered in how to resolve disputes. In that case TFW seeks to counsel clients about ways to best position themselves to avoid litigation while still obtaining favorable results.

Litigation

When the situation calls for litigation, TFW prides itself in its ability and eagerness to pursue the interests of its construction clients in that setting. The firm’s experience and knowledge of rules of procedure and evidence in both state and federal court, its expertise and knowledge of construction law and its trial experience provide a background for TFW to effectively represent its clients.

TFW has tried numerous jury trials, but is equally experienced in trials to the bench. Construction disputes are highly complex and the challenge to the trial lawyer is to persuasively present the evidence so that it is understood by the judge and jury. TFW has tried many construction cases and is proud of its ability to do so.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

In TFW’s experience, approximately 30% of construction disputes are resolved by arbitration. TFW has extensive experience representing clients in the arbitration process. Often the Rules of the American Arbitration Association for the Construction Industry are incorporated directly or indirectly into construction contracts, and TFW has a thorough understanding of the letter and spirit of the AAA Rules as they apply to construction disputes. Of course, a vast majority of construction disputes are referred to mediation voluntarily or by court order, and TFW frequently represents clients in the mediation process as well.
