The construction industry is led by experienced specialists who are passionate about their work—and that passion also describes the construction lawyers at Davis Wright Tremaine.
We are not general contract lawyers and litigators; we live and breathe the construction industry. All of our lawyers have long experience working with construction clients, and many of them have worked in the industry as well. We know what our clients must do to succeed and are committed to help them achieve that.
Our clients are primarily contractors, owners and design professionals. We provide them the full range of services needed to manage risk on construction transactions and disputes. Because we are part of one of the nation’s top law firms, we can easily bring our clients outstanding lawyers to help with any business or risk planning needs they may have.
Our value proposition is simple: We offer highly experienced lawyers, steeped in the full range of construction issues, who are ready to provide very sophisticated counsel, very efficiently. That helps our clients complete their projects on time and on budget. Beyond our technical capability and industry knowledge, we provide a superior client experience. We work with our clients up front, at our expense, to understand their definition of success for any given engagement and then work to meet that standard. We don’t just provide generic legal “product”; we seek to help clients achieve the best business result possible. And our clients never need to wonder whether our interests are fully aligned with theirs.
