Surety
We represent clients in areas relating to contract suretyship, including the coordination of claim investigations, negotiations, alternative dispute resolutions and related transactional work, bond claims and prosecution of surety indemnity, and salvage rights. We provide advice from the initial stages of preconstruction to completion of the construction project. During the preconstruction stages of a project, we anticipate the risks that will arise and determine the appropriate means of resolving these risks through the contracting process. Our proactive approach enables all parties to deal with financial and technical contingencies prior to construction which will frequently result in major cost savings on the project. When disputes cannot be prevented or resolved through planning or negotiation, we are prepared for aggressive prosecution or vigorous defense of our clients' legal rights.
