Construction

Sano & Associates, P.C.’s construction & procurement practice includes counseling clients in all states of a construction project.  Our attorneys have represented owners, general contractors, developers, financial institutions, investors, subcontractors, and suppliers in construction and government procurement cases.  We have advised clients at the initial stages of projects, including drafting and improving basic construction documents, including contracts, bidding documents and project announcements; ensuring compliance with bidding and larger procurement laws and requirements, securing required entitlements and assuring legal compliance (including with compliance with MBE/WBE and DBE-type programs); negotiating and administering the contracts; addressing and resolving problems that arise at any point in the process, including lodging bid protests, assisting in challenging claims of noncompliance or breach; and administering and litigating other project-related disputes including differing site condition, and sequencing, disruption and extra work claims, as well as post-completion, construction-defect and breach of warranty claims.  We have also represented and advised clients in specialized contexts such as OSHA-accident investigations and false claims proceedings.  We have advised clients on a wide range of projects, including major construction projects, green-energy projects, commercial and retail projects, and residential building projects.
