Hendrick, Phillips, Salzman & Siegel has earned a national reputation for providing sophisticated legal services and counseling to businesses and entities involved in the construction industry for forty years. Our practice concentrates on the unique and specialized legal needs of such businesses and entities and spans all phases of construction law and construction related legal transactions and disputes and dispute resolution. The clients that we serve professionally include owners, contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, design professionals, insurance and surety companies, and the professional and trade associations that serve the construction industry and our services involve public and private construction projects. Additionally, our firm offers the full range of legal and business planning services necessary for the successful formation, operation and guidance of construction related businesses. Our guiding principle is to provide effective, efficient, experienced, and personalized legal services to each of our clients. We are dedicated to providing high quality legal services on the basis of a full understanding of each client's needs, objectives and operations. We emphasize advance counseling with our clients to avoid or minimize their legal and business risks and reduce the impact of such risks. Emphasis on such preventive measures aids clients in avoiding disruptive and costly disputes and facilitates resolution of those disputes which do arise in a “business” rather than “litigation” context. We are thoroughly familiar with and experienced in all forms of dispute resolution including administrative and judicial litigation in federal and state forums at all levels, as well as alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediation and arbitration. Our attorneys are regularly involved in the prosecution or defense of client interests in large, complex construction disputes in many different jurisdictions and forums.
