Brouse McDowell’s Construction Law attorneys provide a full complement of legal resources to help at all stages of the construction project, from project conceptualization, design, contract drafting, implementation, monitoring and scheduling, to claims resolution.  Our clients include developers, public and private owners, lenders, builders, general and trade contractors, design professionals, engineers, construction managers, owner’s representatives, subcontractors and material suppliers and individuals.

Our experience ranges from the most sophisticated public and private commercial and industrial projects to the residential construction that exemplifies the culmination of personal achievements.  We assist our clients in identifying the appropriate project delivery system so that the project is completed on time and within the project budget.

Our construction lawyers identify and eliminate concerns and issues that hinder project commencement, and develop the front-end documents to maintain budgetary integrity. 

Brouse McDowell works with its public sector clients to develop bid documents and utilizes an existing network of project consultants, construction managers and other professionals to ensure project success.  We are familiar with form construction contracts such as AIA, AGC, ConsensusDocs, EJCDC and forms required by various public entities, and also assist with the drafting and review of customized contracts. 

During the project, we are prepared to respond as questions arise regarding project implementation, changes in the scope of work, or requests for information.  We aim to assist the project participants to avoid delays, manage claims, and facilitate dispute resolution.  Our lawyers understand Ohio’s mechanics’ lien law and offer practical advice in resolving, or perfecting, preserving and enforcing lien claims.  After a dispute arises, we work to make negotiation meaningful and develop strategies for success through mediation, arbitration or litigation as necessary.
