Construction & Design Professionals

  •  

Davis Wright Tremaine’s construction practice team is committed to helping clients build successful projects.

Overview

To that end, we employ a comprehensive approach to the provision of legal services to construction professionals. In plain terms, we can help along every step of the process. This is why we most enjoy getting involved at the front end in order to ensure contracts are properly drafted. Should problems arise during construction, we also offer practical and informed guidance on how to resolve disputes without sacrificing the success of the project. Our clients include a broad range of private and public owners, general contractors and design professionals. As part of one of the nation’s top law firms, we bring our clients outstanding lawyers to help with any business or risk-planning needs.
