Construction Contracting and Transactions
Client and Industry Challenges
Complex construction projects and infrastructure initiatives need coordinated, integrated and complete contract schemes to govern their delivery.
Snell & Wilmer’s construction team can negotiate and develop a broad range of transactional documents – from engineering criteria, performance specifications and scheduling requirements, preconstruction services administration and construction management through to final completion, project startup, testing and commissioning and close out. Our team partners with our clients to thoroughly understand the project from the project program forward, allowing us to anticipate and address even the uncommon pitfalls that may arise unique to a particular project.
Clients We Serve
Owners, contractors, designers and construction managers routinely turn to Snell & Wilmer’s construction group to ensure that the key agreements are in place before work begins.
Why Clients Select Us
Industry Experience: While some firms may tout the education of their lawyers in design disciplines or other construction-related fields, Snell & Wilmer’s team have on-the-ground performance histories and experience that no traditional schooling can provide. Our services go far beyond merely revising form construction agreements.
Forward-Thinking Approach: Our team remains on the cutting edge of the latest trends and systems that affect construction project delivery today – from sustainability, green and LEED, to BIM, cloud collaboration and IPD. That is why construction professionals and developers throughout the United States and around the world for the last decade and beyond have turned to the lawyers at Snell & Wilmer for mining, energy, power, water, industrial, medical, social infrastructure, resort, high-rise, commercial enterprise, and residential, in public, private and public-private partnership contexts.
