Advice for Clients Facing Potential Delay Claims and Litigation

Almost all construction contracts include a clause specifying a timeline for completion of work. Where outside elements cause a delay in completion for a party, an owner, developer, or general contractor may have grounds for a claim.

Both advancing and defending delay claims requires a great deal of specialized knowledge, and should be handled by a lawyer with experience handling similar claims, and who is familiar with the idiosyncrasies of construction projects and contracts. At HMC Lawyers, our Construction Team has handled large numbers of delay claims. We will move quickly to investigate and identify the reason(s) for the delay, and take all appropriate steps to negotiate or resolve the underlying dispute.

Unfortunately, sometimes disputes are unavoidable. When litigation seems likely, we step in to protect your rights. With over 130 years of combined experience advocating for our clients, we know how to marshal and secure relevant evidence, and build a strong case. Construction claims almost always involve multiple parties and complex evidence, so having an experienced litigation team to represent you is crucial.
