Our Approach to Legal Services

Our firm's philosophy is deeply rooted in understanding the realities of the construction world. We believe that the law should be a tool to facilitate and empower the construction process, not a barrier to its success. We strive to provide practical and strategic legal counsel that anticipates potential issues, minimizes risk, and fosters efficient dispute resolution.

A Depth of Expertise Across the Construction Landscape

We offer a wide array of legal services tailored to the specific needs of the construction industry. Our expertise encompasses contract law, litigation, alternative dispute resolution, regulatory compliance, and surety matters.

We handle a broad spectrum of construction-related legal matters, including:

• Construction Contract Law: We draft, review, and negotiate complex construction contracts, ensuring that our clients' interests are protected and that all legal requirements are met. We are well-versed in the intricacies of various contract types and strive to create clear, enforceable agreements that minimize the potential for future disputes.
• Contract Dispute Litigation and Arbitration: If legal disputes arise, we provide experienced and effective representation in both court and arbitration proceedings. We thoroughly analyze contract provisions, gather evidence, and develop persuasive legal arguments to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.
• Surety and Construction Bond Litigation: We understand the complexities of surety bonds and construction guarantees. Our attorneys can represent sureties, contractors, and subcontractors in bond claims, disputes, and enforcement actions. We provide strategic guidance to navigate the intricacies of these legal instruments.
• Occupational Licensing: We assist our clients in obtaining and maintaining the necessary occupational licenses and permits required for construction activities in North Carolina. We ensure compliance with state and local licensing regulations, helping our clients avoid potential delays and penalties.
• Health and Environmental Regulatory Compliance: Navigating the regulatory landscape for construction projects can be challenging. We provide expert counsel on environmental regulations, permitting requirements, and safety compliance, ensuring our clients operate within legal bounds and minimize environmental risks.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

At Conner Gwyn Schenck PLLC, we strongly advocate for alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and arbitration. These processes often offer a more efficient, cost-effective, and amicable solution to construction disputes than traditional litigation. Our attorneys are experienced mediators and arbitrators, skilled in facilitating constructive discussions and achieving mutually agreeable resolutions.
