Construction Law involves the unique application of many different general bodies of law to the industry specific issues and problems that arise in connection with the construction process and its many different business relationships; the many different particular laws that specifically govern the construction process; and the laws and legal principles that apply to and in connection with the many different types of businesses and professions that are part of and serve the construction industry. Because of our many years of experience and the dedicated focus of our practice, we are able to provide high quality legal service economically in connection with virtually any of these industry specific issues, problems and matters.
A substantial portion of the construction work in the Mid-Atlantic Region is undertaken by the Federal, State and Local Governments. “Public sector” construction projects involve and are governed by unique and particular laws, legal principles, and legal procedures. As a full service construction law firm, our construction law practice includes, and our construction attorneys have extensive experience with, Government Contract Law.
Given the complexities and vagaries of the construction process and the many business relationships that are involved in construction projects, it is inevitable that problems will occur and that disputes will arise out of some of those problems. Our mission is to solve client problems and, when necessary, to guide our clients through their disputes as successfully, productively and cost effectively as possible. Therefore, our attorneys are trained and experienced in all types of dispute resolution, including: negotiation, mediation, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution procedures, administrative dispute resolution procedures, court actions, trials and appeals.
Huddles Jones Sorteberg & Dachille p.c. also provides Mediation and Arbitration Services. Mr. Huddles and Mr. Sorteberg have both been trained to serve as mediators and arbitrators of construction disputes and each has significant experience doing so. The firm’s large conference room facilities are available to comfortably accommodate multi-party mediations and arbitrations; and hotel, parking, and dining facilities are all directly adjacent to the firm’s conveniently located Columbia offices. |
