Construction

There are numerous stages in the lifecycle of a construction project. The interested parties are many, and the stakes are often high. Legal counsel can effectively play a role throughout, including: tendering, development planning, project management, contract negotiation and interpretation, and project financing.  Our construction law team advises developers, contractors, project managers, engineers, architects, sureties and financial institutions across Atlantic Canada on all facets of construction projects.

When issues arise our litigation team can be relied upon to resolve all manner of construction-related disputes and bonding claims.

Depending on a client’s needs our construction lawyers may involve their colleagues from specialty areas of law such as: environmental, immigration, insurance, labour and employment, municipal, and tax.
