When it comes to legal issues affecting the construction industry, we wrote the book. Faegre Baker Daniels lawyers co-authored the authoritative, seven-volume treatise, Bruner & O'Connor on Construction Law published by the West Group.

We advise on construction matters in nearly every U.S. state as well as Europe and Asia, approaching the wide-ranging set of legal problems that confront the construction industry in an integrated way. Many of the same lawyers who represent construction clients in disputes and litigation also are immersed in contracting and structuring projects to minimize risk—and avoid such disputes in the future.

We handle the full range of construction-related disputes, from major breach of contract claims—arising out of design or construction deficiencies, project delays, and claims of material and component failures—to defense of serious work site injuries and fatalities. We have won major court and arbitration victories on behalf of both contractors and project owners.

We draft and negotiate services for all types of construction contracts and design agreements, including project finance. We handle federal, state, and local government contracts; compliance with construction industry regulations; surety bonds; design professional liability; mechanic's lien foreclosures; public bidding; and other construction-related issues. We advise on construction risk management and insurance coverage issues for project owners and contractors.

We represent all types of parties in the construction industry, including private and public owners, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, lenders, construction managers, sureties, architects and engineers.

Our lawyers operate on the cutting edge of innovation and technology both in the construction industry and in the way we do things, whether it be leadership in Green Building or fostering and development of design build delivery systems, national representation of automated systems providers or analysis of BIM data and issues.

Since 1982, Faegre Baker Daniels lawyers have co-authored annual editions of The Construction Review, published by West Publishing, Inc. as part of its Construction Briefings series.
