Do I Really Need a Construction Litigation Attorney?

By all means, you can represent your company during a construction dispute, but we don’t recommend it. The average construction dispute lasts well over a year and is valued at over $18 million. Construction professionals have enough on their plates without having to worry about lengthy and costly litigation proceedings. For this reason, you should consult a Colorado Springs construction law firm whenever you must defend or file a lawsuit. But at Cotney Attorneys & Consultants, we don’t believe that answer alone is satisfactory, which is why we want to take this time to discuss exactly why you really need a construction litigation attorney on your side. 

Prevention

As mentioned above, construction disputes are costly and time-consuming, which is why partnering with a litigation attorney before a lawsuit is so important. A Colorado Springs litigation lawyer is adept at drafting, negotiating, and reviewing contracts to ensure that they  are clear and fair, thereby preventing litigation. Our team can also do a review of your case and current contracts to determine the likely outcome of litigation.

Mediation

In the event that your dispute is on the path to litigation, our team can also represent your company during an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process. An ADR process like mediation could effectively resolve your dispute to the benefit of all parties involved. Alternatively, we may propose arbitration, a cost-saving alternative to litigation that can still result in your party beating the opposition and coming out on top.

Litigation 

Although the above methods are effective for preventing litigation, they’re not always successful. This is the main reason why you need an attorney on your side — to represent your company in a court of law. At Cotney Attorneys & Consultants, our team can review the specifics of your case, determine the best course of action, and, overall, represent your company during litigation proceedings. If you’re sitting at a crossroads and unsure of how to proceed — unsure of how to move forward with a lawsuit or how best to defend yourself — consult an attorney with our law firm for assistance. Call Cotney Attorneys & Consultants to speak with a Colorado Springs construction litigation attorney and find out why you’ll never need to consult another attorney again.
