New York Construction Lawyers Who Represent
Sureties – Not The Other Way Around. In New York City,
That Makes All The Difference!
Our integrated construction practice belief
enables us to be among the most formidable advocates in surety
related controversies. Having had the privilege of representing
numerous sureties, as well as contractors and subcontractors,
we are uniquely situated to know the strength, weaknesses
and strategies of each. Furthermore, beyond our extensive
knowledge of surety law and practice, a personal familiarity
with the metropolitan construction market and, in particular,
public agency personnel, brings a cost-effective, value added
component to our involvement not often found with typical
surety “defense” firms. Without the ability to
reach the right management personnel and obligee/government
owner, a law firm would be relegated to traditional legal
remedies – typically years of wasteful litigation. We
bring the ability to open lines of communication and, with
that, the opportunity for creative problem solving.
Our surety practice is based on decades
of experience representing sureties and contractors in all
types of construction-related disputes. We know the law...and
we know the practicalities...from all sides of the table.
Whether representing a public owner “calling in”
a performance bond for the first time, a contractor faced
with default termination, or a surety quickly mobilizing to
avoid the “train wreck” of a threatened contract
termination, we have been there. We know the risks, we know
the strategy and, as indicated, more likely than not, we know
the players on the “other” side of the table.
Whether a simple payment bond issue or
complex, time sensitive contract termination, reprocurement
and completion, we can be uniquely helpful.
Even as the dust settles, we are aggressive
in areas which others may consider of less a priority, such
as the pursuit of subrogation, salvage and indemnification
claims. We don’t consider the job done until all potential
funds are recaptured. We are often surprised at the fact that
affirmative contract claims of a defaulted principal are not
aggressively pursued. Our construction claims attorneys are
fully prepared to prosecute these claims, often the only source
of substantial salvage proceeds.
