Ask another firm to name the top construction law firms in the region, and Wood Smith Henning & Berman will make the shortlist. We have earned a national reputation for our work on disputes involving residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental worksites.

Representing design professionals, developers, joint ventures, lenders, suppliers and contractors, we have handled every aspect of construction claims and litigation including design or construction defects; delay, payment claims, OSHA related issues, disruption and acceleration; water, fire and seismic damage; and job-site injury.

Our clients want to avoid litigation when they can, so we work with our clients early on to resolve disputes, to negotiate contracts (and review existing ones) to minimize risks, and to transfer the risk where and when it can be transferred. Maximizing contractual risk transfer rights and convincing courts to read contracts to the benefit of our clients has become a specialty of our construction lawyers.
