Construction Law

We break new GROUND

The Construction Law attorneys at Smith Haughey have successfully represented client interests in projects throughout Michigan that involve clear-cut to complex legal issues. We represent clients—large and small—from across the entire spectrum of the construction industry, including:

We represent them in every phase of the construction process, from zoning and tax matters, to financing and bonding, to contract negotiation and construction liens, and beyond. And we frequently draft or evaluate construction documents for our clients in order to avoid potential future litigation.

Should disputes or claims arise, we advocate client interests in the most efficient manner possible. We are recognized as one of the state’s most formidable litigation firms, and we seek courtroom or arbitration remedies whenever necessary. However, a number of our construction attorneys are trained mediators, enabling us to pursue alternative dispute resolution methods that can minimize expenses and keep projects running more smoothly.

Our goal is to help our clients get the job done, while providing the maximum legal protection possible. We can’t promise that you’ll always like what we tell you—after all, the law sometimes complicates matters. But we can guarantee we’ll keep you informed, we’ll make sure you understand your options, and we’ll be there for you every step of the way.
