Construction Litigation & Mediation

New Jersey Construction Mediation and Litigation Attorney

Construction disputes are costly, time-consuming, and can tarnish your business reputation. At Lenahan & Rockwell, our construction mediation and litigation lawyers are mindful of the effect of a construction dispute on your business.

Knowledgeable Construction Mediation Lawyers

We recommend construction mediation and arbitration when we feel it will benefit our client. But we are also always prepared to proceed to litigation when necessary. Our advice is based on over 30 years experience with construction litigation and alternative dispute resolution of construction claims.

We discuss your goals and desires, including time factors, cost factors, negative publicity, and other factors that may be important in deciding how to proceed. When construction mediation is a viable option, we will recommend it to you.

Construction mediation can have many advantages. It is typically less expensive, faster, can be private (rather than public record), and can be non-binding. In addition, construction mediation usually has a mediator or panel of mediators who are technically savvy about the issues in dispute, which means they can recommend a fair and impartial way to resolve the dispute.

When mediation is not a viable option, we are prepared to aggressively litigate your claim and defend your company's interests.
