Contract Negotiation & Drafting

Our attorneys have experience in negotiating and drafting construction agreements using all of the major industry form contracts, including those of the American Institute of Architects, the Engineers' Joint Contracts Documents Committee, and Consensus DOCS. In addition, we have experience negotiating and preparing customized contracts when form documents cannot be adapted to meet the needs of a particular project.

We provide clients with contracts for a wide array of project delivery systems and compensation systems. We have experience with design-bid-build agreements, design-build contracts, Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts, master service and task order agreements, construction management agreements, program management agreements, teaming agreements, and design professional contracts. We have crafted contracts involving a variety of compensation schemes, including lump-sum, cost-plus, guaranteed maximum price (GMP), target price, and performance incentives.

A well-drafted contract can help our clients achieve their goals while appropriately allocating risk to the party best able to control the risk. We believe this approach encourages teamwork among project participants, and creates opportunities for solving, rather than litigating, problems.
