Dependable Construction Law Counsel for Subcontractors

If you're a subcontractor lucky enough to stay busy during this building slump, you probably already know that your owner and general contractor could face problems of their own with financing and payment. To protect yourself from contract risk in the construction trades, contact the law firm of W. David Vaughn, Esq., and discuss your situation with an experienced real estate and construction lawyer.

I've got almost 30 years of experience with the negotiation and documentation of construction agreements, and my practice focuses on the needs of the small to mid-sized subcontractor and materialmen. I can help you anticipate risk, protect your right to payment and avoid liability through careful review of proposed contract terms. My goal is the same as yours: to safeguard the profitability of your role in the project.

I advise builders, pavers, electricians, landscapers and other subcontractors

As your construction law attorney, I can advise you and represent your interests on any of the following:

  • Review of bid specifications
  • Contract review, negotiation and revision
  • Performance and payment bonds
  • Project interruption or abandonment
  • Change orders
  • Insurance issues, including disputes as to defense or indemnification
  • Inspections
  • Mechanics' liens and lien waivers
  • Collections

My advice can protect you from hidden risk, unanticipated liability and contract obligations that go beyond the scope of what you thought you bargained for. If litigation is necessary, I can also protect your interests in court.
