Construction Litigation

No matter your role in a construction or development project, you must prepare for and address distinct challenges and unique risks. Every phase of a project offers opportunities for achieving positive results as well as the potential for disruptive and costly conflicts that can cause catastrophic damage to your business and reputation if not handled properly. When disputes arise, whether on paper or on-site, how you parry such threats will have an enduring impact on your company’s future.

 

Whether you are an owner, developer, construction manager, design professional, general contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or lender, complex and consequential litigation requires attorneys who combine skilled advocacy with an in-depth knowledge of the construction industry.

We recognize that “winning” in litigation means very little when the price of victory includes overwhelming legal fees, severed business relationships, projects left unfinished, or ambiguities that can lead to even more cost and conflict. As a smaller firm, GHU prides itself on its ability to be agile and efficient, delivering high-quality representation without high overhead or the redundancy that can inflate large firm bills.

 

During our many years of working with construction industry clients in Chicago and throughout the surrounding suburbs, we’ve developed relationships with an extensive network of highly credentialed subject matter experts whose opinions and testimony can be pivotal to securing a positive result. We can quickly engage schedulers, construction cost accountants, architects, engineers, or other consultants on behalf of our clients without unnecessary costs or delay.

 

While we always look for creative solutions to construction disputes that can accomplish client goals without protracted litigation, GHU’s attorneys are ready to provide the strategic and aggressive courtroom representation our clients need and deserve.
