Environmental Compliance

Environmental regulations can significantly impact construction projects. Our attorneys are well-versed in environmental law and can help you navigate compliance issues related to land use, permitting, and environmental impact.

  • Environmental Impact Assessments
  • Guidance on State and Federal Regulations
  • Representation in Environmental Compliance Disputes

Expert Mediation and Arbitration Services

Not all construction disputes require a court battle. At Smith Jadin Johnson, we offer mediation and arbitration to help you resolve conflicts efficiently, preserving relationships and minimizing costs.

Advantages of Mediation and Arbitration

  • Cost Savings: Lower costs than traditional court proceedings
  • Time Efficiency: Faster resolution than litigation
  • Confidentiality: Mediation and arbitration keep matters private
