Construction projects are complex—and so are the disputes they generate. From inception until completion, and often thereafter, our team helps clients navigate risk, manage high-stakes disputes, and keep projects on track. With decades of experience across the full spectrum of major project types and delivery models, we understand how the construction industry operates—and how to protect our clients’ interests at every stage. So, whether that means thoughtful advising on the front-end to avoid disputes altogether or tireless advocacy in mission-critical trials or arbitrations, we have it covered.
Trusted Across Industries. We advise owners and sponsors, developers, contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, and lenders on some of the most challenging and technically complex construction projects across the United States and globally (including North America, South America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa).
Our work spans all types of projects, including:
| Oil & Gas (Including LNG) |
Petrochemicals | Hydrogen/Ammonia (Including Green, Blue & Grey) |
| Power (Conventional & Renewables) |
Data Centers | Infrastructure & Industrial Projects |
| Hotels & Luxury Residential Developments | Office Towers | Museum & Cultural Spaces |
Our experience across diverse projects and industries gives us the edge to help achieve our clients’ business objectives.
Comprehensive Dispute Resolution at Every Stage. Disputes are an inherent part of construction. Complex engineering, tight timelines, and multiple stakeholders create fertile ground for conflicts that can threaten budgets and timelines—or even derail projects altogether. Our team understands how and why these disputes arise. And, more importantly, we know how to manage these risks before they escalate and how to help resolve them efficiently when they do.
We advise early in the project life cycle to prevent disputes through clear contractual drafting, proactive contract administration, and thoughtful risk management. When issues arise, we position our clients for outcomes that align with their business objectives through negotiated resolution or aggressive advocacy when needed.
We are frequently engaged to advise on:
Integrated Legal Strategies with Global Reach. What sets us apart is our ability to bring together technical knowledge, strategic foresight, and seamless collaboration across disciplines, offices, and industries. Our construction team works seamlessly with colleagues across our global platform—finance, project development, IP, environmental, regulatory, tax, restructuring, and real estate—to deliver tailored and effective legal strategies to meet our client’s objectives, no matter where the project is located, the venue of the suit or arbitration, or the level of court (including appeals).
World-Class International Arbitration and Trial Lawyers. We are a top-ranked international arbitration and dispute resolution practice, recognized by Chambers & Partners (2025) and The Legal 500 (2025). Our team regularly handles complex arbitrations worldwide administered by institutions such as the ICC, LCIA, AAA, ICSID, DIAC, JAMS, and under UNCITRAL and ad hoc rules.
We are not just paper advocates. We are seasoned trial lawyers who regularly try matters to completion. We thrive in the thick of things: hearings, trials, and oral arguments. We do the work—developing facts, researching issues, preparing witnesses, crafting narratives, and delivering arguments—to help persuade judges, juries, and arbitrators of the merits of our clients’ arguments. Our experience helps us focus on what truly matters: representing our clients in the most efficient and effective way possible.
