Comprehensive Construction Law Services in Denver
Denver’s construction industry has complex layers of legal requirements, from contract creation to regulatory compliance. Smith Jadin Johnson’s legal team has extensive experience in representing Denver’s construction sector, offering tailored legal solutions for contractors, developers, property owners, and more. Here’s a look at our core services:
Contract Drafting and Negotiation
A solid, clear contract is essential for any successful construction project. Poorly drafted agreements can leave you vulnerable to disputes or financial setbacks. At Smith Jadin Johnson, we craft, review, and negotiate contracts meticulously to protect your interests and reduce risks, so that future disputes are less likely to occur.
- Custom Contracts tailored to your project’s specifications.
- Risk Mitigation strategies built into every agreement.
- Expertise in Subcontractor Agreements, Change Orders, and Payment Terms for comprehensive coverage.
Construction Litigation
In large-scale construction projects, disputes sometimes arise over contract performance, delays, or defects. When litigation becomes necessary, our skilled litigators are ready to represent you in court, working diligently to protect your rights and achieve favorable outcomes in cases involving:
- Breach of Contract
- Construction Defects (both design and workmanship issues)
- Payment Disputes, including retainage and final payments
Our attorneys employ proven litigation tactics to ensure a strong defense and positive results for your case.
Mediation and Arbitration
Not all disputes need to go to court. Smith Jadin Johnson offers mediation and arbitration as alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, allowing you to settle conflicts efficiently without the expense and time of litigation. We handle:
- Mediation: A neutral mediator helps both sides reach an agreement.
- Arbitration: A private arbitrator hears the case and makes a binding decision.
These methods are faster, cost-effective, and confidential, preserving business relationships and saving you valuable resources.
Lien and Bond Claims
Securing payment for your work is crucial in the construction industry. Our attorneys assist contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers with mechanic’s liens and bond claims, ensuring you get paid for services rendered. We handle:
- Preparation and Filing of Mechanic’s Liens
- Bond Claims for Public and Private Projects
- Enforcement of Payment Rights under Colorado law
Licensing and Regulatory Compliance
Maintaining compliance with licensing and regulatory requirements is vital for any construction business operating in Denver. Our attorneys assist clients in navigating local, state, and federal regulations, from acquiring permits to managing environmental and safety standards, so your project continues without legal setbacks.
- Contractor Licensing Assistance including applications and renewals.
- Permit Acquisition for large-scale projects.
- Guidance on Environmental and Safety Compliance
Environmental Compliance and Guidance
Environmental regulations can significantly affect construction projects in Denver. Our attorneys provide support to ensure that your project meets federal and state environmental laws, avoiding costly penalties and keeping your project on schedule.
- Environmental Permits and Impact Assessments
- Representation in Compliance Disputes
- Sustainable Building Practice Guidance
Alternative Dispute Resolution Expertise
Smith Jadin Johnson recognizes that litigation isn’t always the best path. Our experience with mediation and arbitration allows clients to resolve conflicts efficiently and amicably. These methods are often less confrontational than court cases and offer distinct advantages:
- Cost Savings: ADR is generally less expensive than traditional litigation.
- Time Efficiency: Disputes are resolved more quickly, helping to keep projects on track.
- Confidentiality: Mediation and arbitration are private, protecting your business.
- Reduced Hostility: ADR fosters cooperation, helping to maintain valuable business relationships.
Our attorneys guide clients through these processes, aiming for resolutions that minimize disruption to projects and benefit all parties involved.
