The Jones Day construction team of highly experienced lawyers, many with backgrounds in architecture, engineering, construction, and real estate development, regularly advises US, international, and multi-national owners/employers, contractors, consultants, and public sector entities on a wide variety of contracting and disputed matters worldwide.
Our construction team provides the full range of legal support for construction-related issues, representing clients in the initiation of projects and preparation of contract documents, acting as project counsel, and handling dispute resolution matters, including negotiation, adjudication, mediation, arbitration, and trial.
Jones Day's construction lawyers have played key roles in some of the largest and most prominent infrastructure projects in the world, including mega-projects such as Eurotunnel, the Jamnagar refinery complex in India, Taipei Financial Center (then the world's tallest building) in Taiwan, J.P. Morgan World Headquarters in New York, the collapse of the Koror-Babeldaob Bridge in Palau, CityCenter Las Vegas, and the Alameda consolidated rail corridor project in Los Angeles.
We have the experience, depth, and resources to handle virtually any type of matter. Our capabilities encompass all types of problems that arise in the construction process, such as delays, differing site conditions, added work and reduced productivity issues, as well as terminations for default and convenience. In addition we have in-depth knowledge of a wide range of problems with completed projects, such as defective workmanship or equipment, structural failures, and warranty issues. Often working in conjunction with Jones Day's insurance recovery lawyers, we are experienced at leveraging potential insurance coverage to aid in recovering construction defect losses. Also, a distinctive element of the construction team is our focus on and extensive experience assisting troubled projects in reaching successful completion, while avoiding in many instances the need for formal dispute resolution procedures.
