There’s no doubt that construction projects and risk go hand in hand. As a commercial contractor, you have to protect yourself and your team. From contract disputes to payment issues, regulatory compliance to litigation, an experienced construction attorney in your corner can make all the difference. That’s where we come in.
The experienced legal team at Dempsey Law is dedicated to helping contractors, subcontractors, and construction businesses navigate complex legal challenges so you can focus on building and growing your business.
Construction defects can often lead to expensive disputes, delays, and reputational damage. We provide aggressive legal representation in disputes involving foundation cracks, roofing and exterior defects, water damage, mold claims, code violations, and more. We’ll evaluate claims and help contractors get fair resolutions through negotiation or litigation.
Getting paid on time is critical for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Wisconsin law allows contractors to file mechanic’s liens when payments are delayed or withheld. We help contractors properly file and enforce mechanic’s liens to secure unpaid work and respond to lien disputes or other payment-related challenges.
When stakeholders fail to uphold their contractual obligations, it can lead to costly project delays and financial losses. We can help you navigate scope disputes, unapproved change orders, warranty issues, and more. Whether enforcing your contract or defending against a claim, we strive to resolve disputes efficiently.
When it comes to construction, land use and zoning issues are bound to pop up. From zoning approvals and variances to land development, our experienced construction lawyers help Wisconsin contractors and developers navigate the complexities of local land use laws.
A strong contract can help protect your rights and reduce the risk of disputes. We’ll help you draft and negotiate contracts that are clear, enforceable, and compliant with Wisconsin laws. This will help safeguard your business and construction projects.
Unfortunately, this is a common issue for Wisconsin contractors. First, review your contract and document all work performed. You may have legal options, including filing a mechanic’s lien, sending a demand letter, or moving forward with litigation for a breach of contract. We recommend you seek legal guidance early on to improve your chances of recovering payment.
If the delays are caused by another party’s actions, your business may be entitled to financial compensation. The ability to recover damages depends on your contract terms and the specific circumstances of the delay.
A strong construction contract should clearly outline the scope of work, payments, change order procedures, scheduling, and more. Our experienced Wisconsin construction attorneys can review and draft contracts to ensure they’re iron clad to protect your rights.
If there’s a dispute over defective construction, your defense depends on the contract terms, warranties, and whether the alleged defects were caused by design, material, or workmanship issues. If necessary, we’ll work with you to provide a strong defense and help solve defective construction disputes efficiently.
