Construction Litigation
We have extensive experience representing owners, contractors, and subcontractors in disputes involving private construction projects. When disputes such as breaches of contract, construction defect claims, or 93A claims of deceptive and unfair conduct arise as part of a construction project or purchase, TDD understands the legal tools to use to help you bring the matter to a successful resolution. We have provided legal counsel to clients working on the most high-profile and complex development projects in the region, but we also have deep experience in much smaller residential construction matters, including on behalf of homeowners. No matter the size of your project, we understand the importance of developing cost-effective strategies to promptly and favorably resolve these matters, often without resort to formal litigation. But if litigation cannot be avoided, we bring the same results-oriented focus on achieving a winning outcome for the client.
